Paul-L's DeClicker plug-in can be configured to DeThud,
(as clicks & plosive-thuds are similar phenomena on different timescales)
Thanks, Trebor. I did some tests using the DeClicker plug-in using the settings you showed, and it did, in fact, get rid of smaller clicks that the PopMute plug-in missed. The combination of these two definitely improved the audio I'm working on, and I appreciate that. At the same time, it must be admitted that most problems are still there, just less intense.

Maybe some day I'll take the time to implement the idea I mentioned above after learning how to write plug-ins.

Thanks again.

The DeClicker settings shown are not written in stone;
e.g. you will have to adjust the threshold on a case-by-case basis ...
