how can i open this creepy file?
uncompressed 8-bit PCM
mono

i tried some -raw parameters with soundfiler and get the pitch but
still sounds very noisy

Depends on how well the original file is using the range it has. You don't use plain 8-bit PCM to represent both loud sounds and quiet sounds, because e.g. if a certain quiet sound has 1/32 of the amplitude of a fully loud sound, then it's using only 3 bits instead of 8 bits...

Using too few bits introduces a lot of noise, but this depends on the interpolation being used. If you convert it from 11025 to 44100 the obvious way, you'll get a lot of very-high-pitched noise. Applying a low-pass filter like [lop~] (or several of them) can get you something similar to having used interpolation.

Perhaps you are actually not reading the file using the correct specs, but you don't give us any way to verify that.
