An even better idea: disconnect the antenna. Most of the noise comes from the front end amplifier, not the galactic and cosmic background, at least in your average consumer grade receiver. And this is a quantum process that someone else definitely can't predict or copy.
And if that doesn't work, crawl up the spectrum a bit. The higher in frequency you go, the more thermal noise you'll see.
