Another noise from under my TJ

You guys did such a good job diagnosing the "laughing monkeys" that I'm back with another.

Driving down the road in my 2005 Jeep TJ 4.0L automatic. When going around 50 mph, and with a wall or car next to me, I'll hear what to me sounds like a paper flapping in the breeze. It only happens when I'm pressing the gas, and stops immediately if I take my foot off the accelerator.

Driving down the road with nothing next to me to reflect the sound and I can't really hear anything (it's much quieter).

The sound in person is more rattle-y than the video lets on. In the video it sounds like a higher pitch moan.


What do you guys think, could this be a transfer case chain? This is easily reproducible, and since it's been happening I've removed the front driveshaft, and replaced my oil pump / OPDA.
