As title.
The threshold seems to be >~65-70 dBa
Such a behavior isn't present on the original puck.

Worth mentioning, controller re-connects after 3-5 seconds of a good connection back.
Yet official puck can go as low as 90 dBa and never drop connection

To test that simply put a palm of your hand at the front of the controller, where USB-C port is located. If not enough - add some metal obstacle between an OpenPuck and the Steam Controller.

I've noticed my controller completely disconnecting as well a bunch of times but haven't checked what dBa it was sitting at when it happened... I do assume it's the same case though as I'm then also not getting inputs from the controller for about 5 seconds
