I doubt that number of -24dB.
Mostly because the Guinness Book of Records attested that the Orfield Lab anechoic chamber in Minneapolis is indeed the quietest place on Earth with a noise floor of -9.4dBA.
Anechoic chambers do not make good listening environments.
The accepted ideal RT60 time for listening is around 0.25 - 0.5 seconds (it does depend on room size). Far from anechoic but less reverberant than most living rooms.
