I have the same noise in our brakes The Left rear caliper sounds like it is hanging up after a stop I also used a lot of brake fuild ( More then I'm used to using) I pulled the rear wheel off tonight and sprayed it down with brake cleaner The noise disappeared I know it is the left rear because my paint on the calipers has changed color Because it was hot.........................Bill[xx(]

I just back from the dealer a few hours ago This was for the noise in the rear brakes He said the wheel cyl was hanging up Keeping the brake on They rebuilt the wheel cyl I also had to get new Pads all the way around and also had the rotors cut The best part now is there is no noise Not when stopping or when leaving a stop I have 45,000 miles on the car so I guess I got good mileage out of the pads

I have just recently noticed a noise from my left rear brakes as well. The brake system in general has always been kind of creaky.
At this point it only is noticable when I am rolling to a stop. It is kind of a weired sound (squeak,grind) but not like metal to metal. Not many miles on the car but enough that I shouldn't have creaking and stuff like that.
