"....and stops only after the engine is turned off"

Are you saying that the noise is still present when the vehicle is stationary?

Now that you ask…strange - it is actually most noticeable when the car is standing (e.g. at traffic lights), cause while driving above 30 mph it is covered by other driving noise.

If it’s happening when the car is stationary then it’s not the transfer box that’s causing it.

Does the noise change if you put the car into neutral?

My guess is it’s an idler pulley or something that’s got wet and muddy whilst off reading. 2002 4.6 Vogue SE - Alveston Red with Lightstone Leather

ok, I see your point regarding the transfer case But it would rather get louder in the motorbay if it would be one of the pulley or the alternator, wouldn´t it?

Have you tried moving between high and low ratio a few times in case something that did not disengage fully the first time then does so? Only Range Rovers since 1988

Thanks, it stopped on its own
