        "text": "For homes in typical urban or suburban areas of the Bay Area experiencing moderate noise, an STC rating of 35-40 is often sufficient to notice a significant improvement. If your home is near a major highway, airport, or high-traffic commercial zone, you might consider windows with an STC rating of 40-45 or higher for optimal sound reduction.
