A NuPIC novice myself, I suspect that to account for noise in the duration
of a particular pattern, you would want to have a coarser grained
aggregation of your input values when swarming. There are aggregation
params in the model (although I can't remember ATM precisely what they're
called). As long as the aggregation is mostly covering the noise, I think
this would work.

Interestingly, in *How to Create a Mind*, Ray Kurzweil discusses the
problem of variation in duration of an input pattern, using speech sounds
as an example. His model is a bit different from CLA/HTM, and he models
inputs with an expected range for the duration.
