Windows Sound Recorder used to open literally anything - text documents, pdfs, Photoshop files, and attempt to play them as audio. Photoshop files make especially interesting noises through it. I used to use it for samples. Got some great noisy stuff that way.
Got any fun clips to share?
I have the album I made with them! Some of the tracks are solely composed of Sound Recorder playing non-audio files, but every track contains samples created that way. The quality isn't the best, this is a CD rip because I've long since lost the original files, but since it's experimental industrial noise, the audio quality doesn't hurt much I guess.

I used to do this with audacity. It's fun to open an image, and apply some audio filters to it, then export it. Makes for some interesting photo fuckery results.
Oh, I didn't know audacity would do it. Well I know how I'm wasting time at work the rest of this week...
I cant remember the command now, but there was one on linux which let you play anything, I remember /usr/bin/ls sounded nice.
aplay is pretty decent
I definitely have pointed it at /dev/random
I used to write dark ambient and noise records as a hobby. I got some of my best samples from that method.
