Impossible to tell you what the exact cause is ,I can only advise you check the drive train item,s props halt joint,s,driveshaft,s .If not able to then you will require a tech to look at it,noises are always a difficult one.

i have it to tech guys who went through every thing but could not find anything .then on test run the problem came on 3 times and tech guy related it to as though trying to engage gear without using clutch they looked at vac pipes but no fault was found .and it could be the transfer box .

Your best bet would be a gearbox specialist,there maybe something else causing your issue.
