I actually gave this some serious thought about 15 years ago and was going to build a proof of concept around an Arduino build.
Tune a receiver to 1.42 MHz (the hydrogen band) and sample the incoming signal 64 times. Above a certain noise threshold becomes a 1, at or below becomes a 0, then normalize the result to between 0 and .9999 repeating.
I envisioned Wifi chips could have the included 1.42 MHz receiver or a simple receiver circuit built into every motherboard for software to access to get true random numbers.
Never built it. Maybe I should dust this project off.
