I experience the "same" low level noise even in a wav file,
even on frequencies a bit higher, when playing on shitty enough speakers.
I don't think it is a relict of the compression (it cannot be, here).

Every speaker (or headphones) is designed for a certain frequency range.
Outside of that range, all bets are off. I wouldn't bother with what you
"hear" outside of the audible spectrum.

My current bet is that the very low frequencies are correctly
represented in the Opus file, but your speaker/headphones
are not capable to play them properly (which is no wonder).
