If you have a SPL meter that goes down that far, you may be able to produce a test tone with your receiver, so you know exactly how loud it is..

I have a Honeywell 17005 air purifier that I regularly shut off for movies and TV-- it obscures the pauses in dialogue, and makes speech harder to understand. My SPL meter isn't sensitive enough to measure the noise it emits.
