The comedy aside, the security here comes from the physical RNG—dice or coin flips—not the ceiling fan; ambient noise buys privacy from eavesdropping, not entropy. A 256-bit (24-word) BIP-39 seed needs roughly 99 six-sided die rolls or 256 coin flips mapped correctly to bits, and any bias in how those rolls get recorded quietly weakens the whole seed.
My new favorite place to generate entropy for my wallets... The bathroom.
It has no windows that are see through, plenty of ambient noise with the ceiling fan, washer and/or dryer running, a locking door, and I can go to the bathroom there.

I call it "Generating 256(SHITS) of Entro(PEE)".
