I used to listen to RAM dumps from an HDTV tuner card I was reverse engineering to try to find its audio buffers. Naturally the image buffers always sounded interesting. I eventually wrote a rudimentary ALSA driver for it.

You can get sounds that sound like an alien machine by taking some super-noisy image or executable data and slowing it down several times using a high-quality resampling algorithm.
