OK, there is a standard for how to measure the sound level:

IEC 60478-4 Ed. 1.0 Bilingual
  Prices are quoted in Swiss Francs (CHF).

Title: Stabilized power supplies, d.c. output. Part 4: Tests other than 
radio-frequency interference


Publication date: 1976-01-01

Maintenance result date:   2007

SC: 22E - STABILIZED POWER SUPPLIES


Media type & price:
  PDF: 3971Kb CHF 171
  Hard Copy: 75 pages  CHF 155 + P&P


I'm not sure whether it includes any sort of limit. My own opinion is 
that an A-weighted sound level at 1 m of less than 30 dB would be 
undetectable by most people when the product is in use under normal 
ambient noise conditions.
