My JB74 has 30000km (around 20k miles) and transfer box noise in 1st is not getting much worse.

Will it be worth fixing it, I'm out of the warranty period...

Thanks for your insights

If the noise you refer to is the "graunch" outlined in Q-A6G-004 & Q-A6G-008, I'm going to say no, there's also a third bulletin (BULLETIN REF: 202202015) that says the noise is "normal"

No it wouldn't be worth fixing.

My 2019 Gen4 is on 42,000 miles, i have never had the transfer box looked at and the bzzz, when setting off in first has not got any worse than it was. I was told at the time it's normal and that Gen3 used to do it.
