Splitting Audio Clip creates a click sound when playing back over the slit.

  You may have already considered this, but perhaps the silent section isn't actually silent and you need to apply a short fade out to prevent the click.   

Any time you have a sudden change in level you'll hear a click. There are two ways to deal with it: either split your clip at a zero crossing or add a short fade to each clip.

The latter is the easier of the two, since it's a simple matter of dragging the edge of the clip. Put your mouse over the start/end of a clip, pointing somewhere in the upper third of the clip. The cursor will change to the slip-fade icon. The fade can be quite short, so there's no need to worry that it might be heard as a fade.

Slip-fades also avoid the problem where an edit becomes audible because the "silence" actually has some room noise in it.

From all the testing I’ve done and suggestions here (Thank you) it seems the best solution is to use a fast curve. Seems like even when I check the Audio Zero Crossing and do the split I still get a click sound. Another option would be to bounce the tracks with the click and pop and buy iZotop RX and use the Declick & Decrackle to get these removed ($$$).

I was hopping when editing and moving parts that I’ve split I wouldn’t get those clicks. But so for its inevitable, I've been using fast curve for a long time but really would like to just split the track and go... Does everyone else here who needs to cut wave track get this click and pops? If it’s just me, than I need to do a lot of tweaking to get this resolved.

I will keep plugging away at it and if I find a solution I will post it here.
 
Thank you all!

The video from Anderton covers this and a bunch more things you may find useful.  I wouldn't get RX from Izotope until you have a look at what is in that video.

Well, the solutions have already been posted.  As Bitflipper said, everyone deals with it - and his analogy of how we used to do reel-to-reel tape splices at a diagonal to avoid pops is so perfect.  We have the instant fade tool which is so easy to grab and apply a super fast fade to, a short little fade at a diagonal just like the tape - that fixes things, and does not involve "a lot of tweaking."  You can't just insist that you'd prefer to "split the track and go"-- Might as well say you'd like to just record a song and call it good without doing any editing.
