Add Keyframe to an Audio Track in the Sequence

Of course there is an add/remove keyframe option in the timeline.

Expand the track.

That is what i would do: just replace the smack section with a clean section from an other part or the track.

As an alternative, I would cut the track each side of the lip smack and lower the level of the new section, or if it is not in shot replace with clean atmos.

To ease doing what Salvo explains it's easiest to start by going into the keyboard shortcuts and set audio keyframe to a shortcut.

Move the CTI to a couple frames before, shortcut-keyframe; right arrow to move onto the smack, keyframe; tap right arrow to get a frame or two past the smack, keyframe.

Hit the + key to expand the timeline until you can easily select the center keyframe and drag it down.

hmmm... this will take a  while for me to capture the screenshots. I will try to recall what I did and explain and then add the screenshots one after another... it is easy once you know how to do it.

Basically you want to select the sound clip. You want to make sure you can see the volume line ( level ).

You want to make 4 keyframes... because you only want to adjust a small portion ( lip smack ) DOWN in volume ... and how far down you go depends on how it sounds to you on speakers and what the sound levels tell you.

For something that fast in time ( lip smack might last about what, less than 1/4 second ??

By making 4 keyframes you are bracketing just the lip smack and leaving everything else as is..

when you are done making the keyframes ( I use arrow keys to just advance one frame at a time to do this sort of stuff... ) you just drag down the two INSIDE keyframe defined LINE..  put mouse on the line, drag it down.

Afterward you can adjust ease in and ease out etc... if you want...

hope this helps...

Edit - I have not idea why I read your post and thought you were saying Markers. Now I look at it again and see you Keyframes. So disregard what I said....

If your video clip is selected in the timeline and you add a marker it will show up on both your video and audio track. But if your clip isn't selected the marker will just be added to the top of your timeline in the time units.
