Cruzer, this is simple, with the car stopped and in NEUTRAL (apply E-brake), turn the wheel. Is the noise generated? If yes, power steering. If no, then the transfer case is a possibility (though very unlikely). I say this because when the car is moving, the differentials in the car will make up for any difference in speed between the tires. So, unless you have a problem in a differential, the transfer case will not make any noise. Besides, when the transfer case tends to go, it makes more of a metallic crunching/grinding sound. Once you hear it, you will remember it.
