These sounds have been created in Ableton Live by a 'noise generating' VST which generates noise when fed any audio (or indeed, silence).
The audio signal then feedsback on itself. Sometimes some sort of filter was placed in the feedback loop and used to do filter sweeps.
I control some of the parameters in real-time to produce these sounds.
The results are to a great extent unpredictable, and sometimes you can tell I am fiddling with the parameters, trying to avoid a runaway feedback effect or the production of obnoxious sounds.
Sometimes I have to cut the volume or stop the feedback loop altogether.
On something like this always place a limiter on the master channel... unless you want to blow your speakers (and your ears) !
These sounds were created in Jul 2010.

I am sure I have a few more. I am doing a disk cleanup at the moment, that is how I found these.
People tend to think of "feedback" as the horrible annoying squeak that you get with microphone-speaker feedback. But it is much more than that: any system where the output or part of it is feedback to the input is a feedbacking system.
Some DAWs allow the setup of feedback routes. Stick some effects on the chain and you can get some pretty interesting results.
Maybe others will listen to these and decide to experiment. Main things are: 1) Always keep your hand close to the control for the feedback volume and be ready to pull it down. 2) Always stick a limiter in the master channel.
