When Knuth talks about random numbers he mentions a CD of random numbers called "Black and White Noise" which is a mixture of deterministically sampled rap music combined with white noise.
Well, you may record the sound to a file. Then use some hashing algorithm ( like md5sum) to calculate the hash number of that file.
Each different type of sound will give you different files. And if two files are different, their md5sum hash will of course be different.

It's the other story why...
The key point is: what's (and why) a distribution of your home-made generated sequence? If you don't know the answer then it's not a true random number generator...
