Did you check the oil yet?

You don't specify what vehicle you're inquiring about - some of the t/cases are gear driven, others have chains, and you'll hear them if the oil is low - other than that, bad bearings.

sounds like changing your transfer case oil would be a wise idea,  see if it shows any shavings of metal in it or something.  if it does, you've got problems for sure.

The bearings might be chewed up then, I knew there was a reason I don't like mud bogging.
You should extend the breather to a higher spot so this doesn't happen again

Locate the vent and put a rubber tube up to the hood level, might
even want to run it into the air filter box
