Yes, GW does a nice job at noise reduction for 2 reasons: (1) you have a long enough sample without speech, music or anything which is, at all, what you wish to keep, and (2) when you don't have a long sample, let GW use "initial noise" as the preset. It takes, again, quite a bit longer than the SF plug-in however, but it does work, only, and that is the important word, if used properly and if necessary.
