We usually kindly ask you to show us the complete, uncut console output
of your ffmpeg command.

Though in this case:

You didn't tell ffmpeg that this section is a filter command. You need
to prefix it with "-af", otherwise it is interpreted as the name of an
output.

$ ffmpeg -i C:\Media\test.wav -af afftdn="'nt=w':om='o'" C:\media\test_clean.wav


You have too much quoting as well, though it does not hurt. You can
also do:

$ ffmpeg -i C:\Media\test.wav -af afftdn=nt=w:om=o C:\media\test_clean.wav
(Use more quotation marks depending on content.)
