Noise plays a critical role in understanding the limitations and areas of potential improvement for analyses searching for gravitational waves.
We discuss the targeted search for gravitational waves associated with gamma-ray bursts during the third observing run.
No gravitational waves were detected coincident with the 86 GRBs analyzed.
New upper limit exclusion distances are set for various signal waveform types, and we report exclusion probabilities for specific models.
We discuss the relevance of transient noise on the performance of unmodeled search pipelines.
