More data, but I'm not sure there's an answer there yet. The first file
creates a very loud glitch sound, which the second one doesn't. The
midline value seems better on the first, assuming this represents DC
offset.

A DC offset is an interesting idea. How would I
test for that?
sox <file> -e stat
displays midline amplitude.
Or try a highpass filter, just as a test.
