In addition to dbd's reply, you better use a hex editor for to open the
wav file.

You can open any binary file in emacs and view it as hex using M-x
hexl-mode.

That sounds interesting for an unrelated problem.
I went to [https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs] and found the screen shot 
provocative.
Looking for useful descriptive information I naively took the invitation 
to "Take the tour", i.e. 
[https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/tour/index.html].

Got lots of purty pictures -- "a word is worth a thousand pictures".

Is there an informative page of text somewhere?
