        "text": "Yes, energy-efficient windows, particularly those with double or triple-pane glass and inert gas fills, are generally effective at reducing outside noise. The multiple layers of glass and the sealed air or gas space between them create a barrier that dampens sound waves, significantly improving acoustic insulation. This can be a substantial benefit for homes located near busy streets, schools, or other sources of external noise in urban environments like Oakland or downtown Berkeley. The thicker the glass and the wider the air gap, the better the sound reduction.",
