Did you drive to dirt and see if it unsticks?
try side of road , at dirt.
first off,
no 4wd system stated, which kind.? and WHAT MODE?>???????
and if using locked mode, 4wd it not for pavement, and will do damage using locked mode, or part time 4wd on dry pavement , no ice means dry. at the least its dangerous. using locked if you dont know what you are doing, use AWD.
why are you in 4wd, do tell?
see the word CANT here.
read it and believe it.

I'm not absolutely sure on the tire size for the jeep itself, but I think they are 225/65/R15's. Not absolutely sure.
As for the noise, from your explanation, it sounds like the transfer case is under a heavy bind. Take it off of the road in some grass or dirt and then move it forward a few feet then simply hit reverse. Don't move much maybe an inch and it may release the bind. Once you get the bind off the transfer case, it should slip out of 4wd, unless there is damage in the case/shifter itself.
When operating four wheel drives, with tires of different sizes it causes extreme stress on the gearing in the transfer case. Larger tires don't turn the axles as much as smaller tires. So, this causes stress in the driveline as the front is actually turning slower then the rear. In turn, this will put so much pressure on the gears that it could cause damage and the shifting mechanism will not work correctly to pull it out of 4wd engagement.
Try those ideas, and see if you can get it out of 4WD. Definitely put four tires on the jeep that are all the same size. This will keep you from having excessive stress on the transfer case and gearing therein.
I hope this helps out buddy.

put it in 2 wheel drive a drive in reverse for about 5-8 ft and this should unbind it.......good luck!

Assume that is stuck in 4wd, cannot shift back to 2wd. Have you tried shifting to 4wd/Lo and back? Try letting out on the clutch while slowly rolling?
Assume you are manual transmission?

a reluctant transfer case can sometimes be coaxed by shifting into reverse, backing up 10 feet, and then back to forward.
