Sound is very subjective.

"off the cuff" definition would be: if you can't tell wether or not it's on, then it's silent.

Technically, it would have to fall under a specific dBa level (on all frequency ranges). Probably in the low to mid 20's. Then there are music purists that would go lower, or require low dBa on various ranges.
