Solo the track and see if the clipping wasn't introduced in the recording phase. Is possible to overload the preamp or the A-D converter, in which case no amount of signal lowering afterwards can take it out because it is printed on the track.

One can take a look at the Graphic Waveform View to see if there are clip points in there that correspond to the time of the offending sounds, too. If they are, the only way to really get rid of them is to re-record the track, paying attention to the settings of the mic preamp or mixer and soundcard record faders.

The above could very well be the case, since it is very hard to "clip" the 32-bit sound engine via the mixer. Maybe impossible.
