I'm a little puzzled by this discussion (I could say "I don't have this problem", but that might not be seen as helpful!).
One thing that has been noted before is that, without external attentuation, the SB does have a rather higher output level than many other devices: so, if you compare its noise level in the way you've described with another device with a similar S/N ratio but a lower output level, the SB would seem noisier. So, instead of testing with the amp turned all the way up to the max, how about playing some loud music with the volume as high as you think you will ever go ... and then stop the SB and - at that volume - see if you can hear the hiss. Apologies if you've already done that and I've misread somewhere...
