was a "calm" throughout our apartment. This with no music playing or extraneous noise(s).
Everything was just calmer. We've lived here for 20 years, so knowing the neighborhood and
building this was a (wonderful) surprise and very apparent. Is there more to it than taming the glass?
Not sure.
Had previously used those gel type window decorations in the Living room where the stereo resides
and they had provided some vibration control that was noticeable but nothing like the cumulative
effect of the copper window tweak.
I'm sure GK has an explanation beyond your second question for how it works that he won't tell you, only
obliquely refer to while smugly comfortable believing his superiority to the rest of us, but this is a tweak that
works here and is easy and cheap to do.

I gather the chief benefit may in fact be to reduce window rattle, which I can well imagine would be a benefit. But if so, why is it necessary to use copper tape? Duct tape might do as well or better. So, there must be some other element to this that I am missing. Do you place the tape in big X-shaped patterns across windows (and mirrors)? Like some do when preparing for a hurricane or other extreme weather conditions?
Well, the gel eliminated window rattle well.
(Say THAT 10 time quickly without messing up).
There are what? scores of different tape types.
Why specifically copper I'm not sure.
Copper DOES make great shielding for RFI/EMI but I wouldn't think a small amount on windows would contribute to that.
But... you never know.
You can do a search of the archives for more info.

No I just used two inch strips and I think he only called for one inch

but GK uses a "special" fold with his tape.
