Yes, the FCC added 4 db of noise for low band when they calculated the DTV table of assignments.

The actual amount of noise varies considerably. In a commercial environment channel 2 can have 29 db added noise. Also, according to the data in the MSTV DTV report, channel 6 has 6 db less noise than channel 2 in all environments.
