Thanks all

Pro Tools pink noise is trash.
Use the Dolby -- the crest factor is important.
In the end the "next room" will be calibrated by the Dolby tones. Not Pro Tools. The Pro Tools is only ever good to do some simple -- relative -- levels quickly. (And don't use the DSP mode of the sig generator plugin; there are phase issues that screw up the sound; use native)
