Yes, it is. SNR is always in relation to a "noise floor". The noise floor for the entire system absolutely includes ambient environmental noise.

So what your saying is, all else being equal, my SNR is probably going to be better on a Sunday night in the lounge of the Mizpah Hotel in Tonapah, Nevada than it is the day before Thanksgiving in the SkyBar at JFK International.

"...and that's why they put windows in recording studios - it keeps ambient noise from getting onto the tape."

When your bass's volume control is set at zero, its signal-to-noise ratio is zero.

It's arguably undefined with no signal.

zero/noise is zero. noise/zero would either be infinite or undefined.
