How to use C file in Ubuntu

I'm trying to get this https://github.com/TheCacophonyProject/voice_scrubbing working on my ubuntu. I've managed to 'make' the thing using 

make

Go me!

But I don't know how to insert any files into it. I'm pretty sure the app takes a .wav file and edits that file inplace. So could I get some help with doing this?

All the best

Edit:

Here's my directory contents. I want to find a way of using that mute_low(.exe) file:

notebook@heyfinn:~/Cacophony/voice_scrubbing$ ls
Makefile  mute_low.c  README.md   wavefile.h
mute_low  mute_low.o  wavefile.c  wavefile.o

And here's the file contents on Jupyter notebooks to explain why I think there is an .exe file there: enter image description here

On Linux you do not have .exe files. But instead files are marked with execute permission.

If you look at your Makefile, you can see it defines the TARGET=mute_low.

This is your executable.

You can run it as 

./mute_low # in the same directory where you did make

If for some reason it doesn't execute and you get errors like

./mute_low - Not an executable

you can make it an executable as

chmod +x mute_low

Finally it would need the file name of the .wav file and you can provide that as 

./mute_low filename.wav
