I hoped that one had a sample file with those clicks. I can't record at the moment. Therefore I experimented with the following "speech simulation" I don't think your simulated speech is as complex as true speech. Samples of speech and mouse clicks are available from Freesound. e.g. ... S...

If the bass is clipping then you need to reduce the input level.

If the bass is not clipped but too loud in places you could try a multiband compressor, e.g. http://www.gvst.co.uk/gmulti.htm which can attenuate the bass only when it gets above a volume threshold.

Mouse clicks are broadband noise, extending beyond 10KHz ...
that property may enable them to be differentiated from other sounds.

[ BTW for windows users there is the free VST Floorfish , which is a frequency dependent noise gate ]

What about a noise gate which uses an RMS value rather than a the absolute value as a threshold ? A click during otherwise silence can be loud (i.e. high ABS value) but it's short duration means it has a low RMS value compared with speech. If a noise gate threshold is set too high you would lose the...

Apparently wood glue is the latest thing to remove foreign material from vinyl records.

The Freesound online preview player thingy adds digital artifacts, which are not present when the sound is downloaded from the Freesound website.

... i'm asking you guys for any ideas or suggestions in the matter of equalizing and using the effects provided to actually make it sound like my voice (no need to change pitch, add reverb or any of the sorts).
