it's going to be different depending on the radio...

The RF gain reduces gain, it doesn't eliminate RX altogether. Depending on the level of natural/manmade noise you will still hear some even with it wound right down, it'll just not be as strong as it was. So if the RF gain reduces gain by 20dB and you have a -100dB noise source, it'll be -120dB with the RF gain reduced and that'll still be audible.

There is also the internal noise generated by the components in the radio as well.

Just for the record it is "pot" not "pod". It is short for potentiometer. I wish I had a dollar for every time someone called it a pod. I would be a very wealthy man.
