You can get this by using the standard "gain" effect and offsetting the
amount by 4.78 dB.  If you want to abuse the existing options a bit, you
could produce a stereo white noise file with a given RMS level like
this:

$ sox -n out.wav synth 10 square whitenoise whitenoise gain -12 gain -B remix 2 3

Not the most efficient or intuitive, I know.
