You ever heard a chirping noise coming from the rear, even when not braking?

I don't hear a chirp but occasionally I do hear a clink sound. Kinda like metal tapping each other when switching gears or when coming to a stand still.
The sound is very faint but I have noticed it a few times.

Well, I got the new performance rotors and I am wondering if it could be the brake pad rubbing up on the rotor (that was what one of my friends hypothesized). Does that sound reasonable? The sound seems to begin when I accelerate from a stop and basically sounds like super loud crickets. Obviously it's hard to explain, but needless to say I am not happy with this.

same thing happened to me but more of a tick not a chirp...try bedding your pads on the new rotors. if not see how the pad is seated might be rubbing while not engaging the brakes

Does the sound come from the rear only? If so, then there is a possibility that
your lug bolts are rubbing against the emergency brake shoe causing a repetitive clicking sound.
Is there any way you can provide us with a video so we can hear what the problem is?

Damn this noise back! I think it was diagnosed like you said, "rubbing against the e-brake"....although i thought it was cured. Could it be that the emergency brake doesnt get fully released (just noticed it again a day after I used the emergency brake) when I pull he lever? It's weird that the chirping occurs when moving, is that consistent with a rubbing against the emergency brake?

If the E-brake doesn't get fully released it will constantly make a ticking sound, it'll get progressively louder the more you drive.
Did this occur after you changed the rotors?

When you installed your new wheels, if they used the same lugs then this shouldn't be the problem I wouldn't think.
