A zener diode operated at a current below its regulated voltage
is an excellent noise source and will generate noise well up into
the UHF region (don't know how low in frequency they start--I have
checked them at 1MHz where they are good generators).

It is worthwhile to test a few diodes if you are looking for
highest output.  A three stage transistor amplifier operated with
a 9V transistor battery will produce a high level of output.
