Maybe the lining broke off of the e-brake shoe?

That noise is a "Heads up" to inspect your rear brakes.

Check the E-brake. Does it stop the car?

Swap the rear tires and see if the problem goes to the other side.

Jack up the wheel and turn backwards by hand. Does it make a noise.
Pull the wheel and look at the E-brake adjuster and the E-brake linkage.
You can test the adjuster with a big screwdriver or brake adj lever.
E-brake linings are famous for breaking loose.

How many miles on the rear rotors?

While you're in there inspect the rotor and pads, put a drop of Mystery oil
on the brake bleeder screws to make it easy to flush your brake fluid.
