Nowadays, the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is rapidly developed. It also trigs the development of other research field such as social science research. But in the development of it, there are a continues problem that has been discovered over 30 years, noise. Over the years, many ways have been created for example Savitzky – Golay (SG) and Low Pass (LP) Butterworth filter. In order to use SG filter, two parameters which are the order and the window length should be determined by trial and error. On the other hand, LP Butterworth filter also needs two parameters to be operated which are the order and the cut off frequency. This research focuses on comparing the performance of third order LP Butterworth filter and third order SG filter by finding the gap between filtered signal and the original signal through the simulation by using MATLAB. This research is supported by the journals and books references. Also, the data of this research is presented by the table and graph. According to this research, founded that both filters have a significant impact to smoothing the noisy signal. compare to LP Butterworth filter, SG filter has better performance. It is proven by SG filter only has 5% gap to the original signal where LP Butterworth filter has a slightly bigger gap, 8.82%.
