Random clicking and static sounds in my recordings, no hardware issues.

I am recording some vocals with Adobe Audition in multitrack, but each recording has these random annoying sounds like someone hot the mic with their fingernails. They occur randomly from recording to recording. I have no idea why is this happening, I am far away from the mic, and the volume level is always in the green, with no clipping. I tried recording with Garageband and there are no such sounds at all!

Any help on what this could be? Thank you!

Assuming that you are using the MME device class, and it's fine with other apps, then in Edit>Preferences>Audio Hardware try increasing the Latency value and see if this makes a difference.

I am on an iMac Pro. Here is a sample of a recording I just did very quickly and this one very bad. I didn't have this problem when I recorded on a new single track.

The one thing I can tell you from the recording is that the waveform is intact, in a way that it certainly wouldn't be if that was a recording error. So whatever's going on is a playback issue. I don't have a Mac so I can't really go any further than that - but as I said, that's clearly not a recording issue as such.
