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.
