X-No-Archive: Yes

If I wanted to record something very quiet like light clothes rustling
or pianissimo violin, what is a quiet ambient sould level in dBC (not
dBA) for a recording studio?

Thanks.

Pianissimo violin is way louder than clothes rustles. Since violin & rustles
have little content below 125 Hz, 25-30dBc mid freq and 35-40dBc lo freq
will be fine with a lo cut filter on your mic. If you'll ever want to record
low SPL low freq material like body cavity thumps, your dBc readings will
have to be 25-30dBc in the low octaves as well.

Or if You want to record clothes for effect i/e film, simply mic them
separetly and direct those sounds to their own tracs / channels.
For ambient noice in a studio I would say it´s subjective and debends
of the timbre of the noice and your micing techniques.
