        "text": "Noise reduction windows are highly effective against a broad spectrum of external sounds, including traffic noise, distant conversations, and general urban ambient noise. Their performance is measured by the Sound Transmission Class (STC) rating; higher STC values indicate better sound insulation. While they can significantly reduce most outdoor disturbances, extremely low-frequency noises or severe impacts might still be faintly perceptible, though greatly diminished. They aim to reduce noise to a comfortable background level.",
