Hello,
This noise could be coming from the transfer case.
Many of these XL7s have transfer case issues, from noisy to randomly selecting 4-wheel low in the highway.
These XL7s with the 'motor-shift type' transfer case, can have these sort of loud noise due to internal failure of one of more components.
Check the fluid, typically on the noisy transfer cases you will find metal shavings. Sometimes contaminated/dirty fluid can also create excessive noise.

Thank you.
