As the title says, this occurs in 4H. I also have a little bit of a “rattle” sound in 2wd that seemed to happen at the same time. Here’s a video of what I’m hearing in 4H.
I have changed the Tcase fluid. Did the diff fluid and diff seals prior to this noise.

1997 tj, 4.0 auto.

That sounds an awful lot like the noises my case made, but in my situation the root cause was obvious once I drained the transfer case fluid.

Replacing every bearing in it because the PO of the case used way, way too much RTV when they put in the SYE.
