WAV file makes weird noise when imported

[bigmouth12349]

I've just gotten audacity, and I'm a bit confused.
I have a WAV file that I've tried to import into audacity,
but when I import the file, it just makes this weird squeaky noise, like a tape recorder being rewound.
I downloaded the off vocal off of my ipod, using a download app, but it is definatly a WAV file, I converted it using the app (I checked the "proporties" on my computer).
Am I doing something wrong? Or is my computer messed up somehow?
I have Windows XP. Please help!

Open the file, don't Import it.

I tried that, same problem.

It may say it's a WAV file, but WAV is just a container format and can contain just about anything.

Have a look at this topic and see if it helps: http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic ... 10#p108301
