Only thing to do here is get the box out and inspect the clutch for a mechanical problem. i have never heard this type of noise, normally you get a whine or a rumble noise. it may be slipping badly and this will result in total loss of drive shortly. get this investigated ASAP before it fails and leaves you stranded.
