Aim for a reduction of 6dB to 12dB . If you try to remove 30dB of noise, the voice will sound like a robot. Your goal is to make the noise unnoticeable in the mix, not absent.
Your audience will forgive a slightly soft focus. They will not forgive audio they have to strain to understand. Invest in a proper noise reduction plugin, and your Premiere Pro timeline will finally sound as good as it looks. Struggling with a specific type of noise (like air conditioners or laptop fans)?
