Click sounds when I speak

Hi there!
I’ve been trying to record a voice audio but there are clicks when I speak. It doesn’t seem to be clipped audio since it doesnt happen at the loudest points of the audio.
Is this what mouth clicks are? I’ve had some in the past and they sounded longer and ‘wetter’ than these very dry, short clicks that happen mid-sentence (and mid-word).

Here is a clip:
clickyclip|audio

I would love to have your help on if and how this can be prevented, and on if I can fix the audio I already have.

Edit: I use windows 11, a Blue Snowball Ice speaker, and recorded on audacity

Thanks a bunch,
Alex

IMO too loud to be mouth clicks, and not drop-outs either.

There’s nothing above 9kHz, that could be “audio enhancements”,
if they are on try turning them off … Disable Audio Enhancements - Microsoft Support

Audacity’s De-clicker plugin repairs most of the clicks, (it’s slow, but quicker than manual repair).
