If your box has a chipped tooth or other broken bits, I feel the noise would be there all the time.
If you drop the gearbox oil then see if there is clear oil or 'bits' in it. If bit you know the box needs coming out...
With the noise you describe, perhaps a box bearing esp as it is worse when hot and oil is thinner.
Unless there is something external to blame (pro shaft etc) then the only way to find out is to open the box. quite a job.

It could be fixed, just by changing the drop gear bearings set with any luck.
But I would offer that as a start point as it is relatively cheap to do. [ About £200.00 ] If they don't do it then it'll be box out and a full strip.
Worst cost £650.00 + VAT for a recon box from me.
