You may find it is a sticking brake piston on the rear end,

Usually a sign that the discs are warpped and catching the pad as they turn.........................

That what I found on mine

Found the cure was to drive along for a few miles withthe foot on the brake just to take the highs out of the pads.........No sounds now on mine :lol:
