Made a soundset for kicks. It was fun, but now I want to clean it up a bit. Those of you who have done one or more before, do you have any tools to recommend?
Incidentally the soundset is for a *seriously* evil PC fighter type which I am working on when not overly busy with other stuff. I am planning - though this might not be the best way to do this - to make a kit only for him. It will basically be a port of the Shadowknight class from Everquest - not an anti-paladin, but a frontline fighter with various disabling and injurious spell-like abilites.
More soundset questions

Goldwave is a nice program to clean those soundsets with. I don't have the link handy but it's an easy search.

Audacity (audacity.sourceforge.net) is better than the proverbial kick in the head.
Sonic Foundry SoundForge is a good tool although I'm not sure if the consumer-priced version lets you have the batch converter, which is really very nice.
Really, anything that will let you volume tweaks and fade in/fade out is a good start, at least.

I used Windows ultra vanilla Sound Recorder for recording them, so anything is an improvement 
They sound ok to good in the game, at least I think so. Minor cleanup still to do, like removing the "click" of my mouse that starts some of them.

The software you use to RECORD makes no difference, really. All it's doing is asking your sound card what its sampler is hearing. It's the matter of tweaking it, and yes, you would use an audio editor to take out the click of the mouse. It's amazing what the careful use of fade in/fade out gets you (not to actually fade in the distance, just to ramp up/ramp down the "microphone silence" that shows up.)

Downloading Goldwave right now. It looks good. It's tiny, too.
Trying Audacity too. This is going to be fun.
