The sound is louder when the car is under load (accelerating or engine breaking) and when it is not under load, it gets quiet. I had new tires installed in August, and I was thinking that could be the cause. I will try rotating the tires around to see if the sound moves with them, but I really am leaning toward something with the transfer case.
Did you ever find out the cause of this?
