I did the opposite, and fitted a transfer case guard.
This does a brilliant job of reflecting all the whiny whirry bearing & chain sounds up into the car!
My solution was to stick a big piece of that (supposedly) fire resistant closed cell sound deadening inside the guard, and it reduced the noise from "catastrophic gearbox failure imminent" to "is there any oil in it?" which will have to do.
If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there
