For all the string noise parts just rub your hands on the strings, to create
the feedback they are using by artificial means, try one of the following
1. Natural Harmonics on 5th frets of strings 1 and 2
2. Place hand between bridge and neck and harmonic there until you find the
  correct pitch, you will be more sucessful using strings 1 through 3, and
  being closer to the neck than the bridge
