The question of whether one could simulate a raw physical source is tantalising. I see diverse opinions as to whether it is plausible, and thinking about it, I'm on the fence.
Let us consider that source of colored noise with which we are most familiar: The human voice. Efforts to realistically simulate a human voice have not been very successful. The most successful approach has been the ransom note approach, merging together a lot of small clips of an actual human voice.
A software simulated raw physical noise source would have to run hundreds of thousands times faster.
