Hey.
 
This is what I do:
 
- I record audio in Sonar (using a mic to record sound coming from an guitar amplifier)
- I cut out a part in the recorded audio and re-record the part I cut out.
- When I've done this, where I cut, there is a little noise. Almost like a little clip.
 
I wonder, what is this clip-noise?

This is because you've cut into a point where there's an audio signal present.

You could try cutting at a zero crossing point - ymmv with this though, it's not 100% foolproof

Instead of cutting a part out, you could try simply setting appropriate punch points and punch in

You could also try recording the flubbed bit onto a new track and use track automation to fade the old data out & back in using tightly defined curves

You could use a 3rd party wave editor to home in on the clicks and edit them out

You could use clip automation on what you've already recorded - again using nearly vertical - but not quite vertical! fades

3rd party wave editor? Can you remove the "clips"whitout having to re-record the audio with this?

Yes, you can even do it SONAR. Zoom in and cut them out of the track. You can either delete the hole made by the edit or fill it in with a small piece of the adjacent clip. Some prefer to use dedicated editors for this function. Some editors have automated tools to assist in the process.

Try putting a short fade in or out on each end of the clip that you cut.

That would be my first choice.

fades are great, but there's also snap to nearest zero audio markers as well, which can be really handy once you get the snap time set to one sample and zoom in deep on the track.  here's an article that talks about it. http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/jun03/articles/sonarnotes0603.asp
