Depending on the actual design of the chamber you should get better than 60dB of shielding. 60dB is a factor of 1000 : that is any ambients are reduced by 1000 times inside the room - that is pretty close to zero. Typical double walled shield rooms are 100dB or better which translates to 100000!! My guess is that a cable is entering the room that need to be addressed.

I guess the noise cannot be at 'zero' level.

You need to fix that.
