Won't the heat sensor probe interfere with the seismometer?

I've read that the Mars InSight Seismometer will be deployed before the HP3 probe. Won't the digging interfere with the seismometer? Or the shock produced will be small enough to be dissipated by the ground?

As shown in the graph below, the digging of the HP3 probe is expected to occur between sol 50 and sol 90. This gives SEIS plenty of time before sol 50 and after sol 90 to take measurements. Furthermore, the graph shows that the actual time spent hammering is quite brief. Finally, although the hammering will indeed interfere with measurements of ambient seismic activity, the echoes from the hammering might reveal information about nearby subsurface geology, which is also valuable.

It's too small an edit to be permitted, but I believe the probe is named HP³, not RP³.

The digging may produce a seismometer reading, but that's not necessarily undesirable. They know exactly how the digging operation will be performed, so it's an opportunity to check the seismometer.
