We present results of time-series data simulation. We aimed at estimating the threshold used for detecting signals in amplitude spectra, calculated from simulating TESS photometry of up to one year duration. We selected the threshold at a false alarm probability FAP=0.1% and derived S/N ratios between 4.6 and 5.7 depending on the data cadence and coverage. We also provide a formula to estimate the threshold for any FAP adopted and a given number of data points. Our result confirms that, to avoid spurious detection, space-based photometry may require substantially higher S/N than that typically being employed for ground-based data.
