I suggest you look at the rear brake caliper mounting bolts.
 
Try the following test - ask a friend to stand by the car and listen close to 
where the noise is coming from.
 
Start the car moving forward very gently, and brake to a stop.  2 to 3 mph 
will do.  Then drive it backwards and brake.  If the carrier bolts are worn, 
your friend (and perhaps even you) will hear a sharp "click" from the brakes.
