We recently decided to get a professionally recorded set of prompts for
our asterisk based IVRs and received these as the following:

The problem I have is that at the end of every file there is a pop /
distortion after playback.

I had a similar issue converting wav files one time. Ended up using sox
to convert to .sln as that ended up being the sounding conversion.
I used the below command on a directory of files to convert:
for a in *.wav; do sox "$a" -t raw -r 8000 -s -w -c 1 `echo $a|sed
"s/.wav/.sln/"` resample -ql; done
You can save a couple of 'process creations' by replacing '`echo $a|sed
"s/.wav/.sln/"`' with '${a/.wav/.sln}'
I use sox to transcode my files. I've had occasional issues with pops
at the end of files. I suspected it was because of the DC offset my
voice talent introduces when they use their portable gear instead of their
studio gear.
I use Audacity to trim off the pop. It's manual, but it's faster than
reordering the prompts.
FWIW, I use the following commands to convert to WAV:
sox "${INPUT}" -c 1 -s -w -r 8000 /tmp/$$.wav
normalize "${FILENAME}.wav"
Sox has a bunch of obtuse (IMNSHO) commands. There may be one that could
automagically trim the pop for you.
