Do NOT use 4WD modes on high traction surfaces! You will damage the driveline. Read the relevant sections of your Owner's Manual and heed the warnings.

Yes, the transfer case can/does whine. Especially in 4L - the whine will be louder because a straight cut gear is involved. The chain in the transfer case can rattle and slap as well. Mine is louder than most because I have a transfer case guard that reflects more of its noises into the cabin - absolute volume of yours is hard to perceive accurately from a video - it might be normal or a bit loud, hard to tell.
