The usual technique is to reverse bias a Zener diode, and amplify the breakdown
noise. Unless you use a special noise diode, the noise spectrum will not be
perfect, but that's probably not an issue for your purpose.

You'll need to experiment with how much amplification is required - quite
likely you can get away with one op-amp stage.
