It could be the steering and suspension noise.

Can you get a recording of this noise?

Is this a rotational noise or just a singular pop noise? Does it get faster the faster you drive?

Here is a guide that will help with this:

You are correct that this could be anything from a transfer case issue, suspension issue, or even a bushing issue.

Hearing the noise will really help figure out the possible causes. Thanks
