Squealing brakes on 850 850 1997

Hi y'all. I have a squeal coming from the rear of the car. It can only be heard after I take my foot off the brake pedal and I begin accelerating. My car has been sitting the last two days, where we have received over 3 inches of rain in the same time period. It has been 30k since my last brake job. I am wondering if the squeal could be my calipers sticking due to some rust that may have accumulated in all the rain? it is a different pitch than the one you get when your pads or tires are worn. It goes away after accelerating for a couple seconds.
