Default Car making weird noise from the rear

I went to the exhaust shop and fixed a loose hanger that I thought was making this metallic screeching noise from the rear. Turned out that it wasn't the cause of the problem. At a stop my car sounds normal. When I start driving the car starts making this horrible annoying screeching metal sound coming from the rear. I really can't tell where its coming from exactly. Also when I'm in reverse and backing up. The rear makes this weird creaking noise thats kinda loud. Anyone wanna help me with these problems or should I just take it in to Honda?

does this happen in gear, out of gear, all gears, speed dependent? some more information is needed. but usually a metal on metal sound might be your diff. how many miles are on your car?

Brake pads at the end of their wear cycle? If so, the low pad indicators will contact the rotor and make a very annoying sound. Another possibility os that the brake shield has become deformed and is contacting the rotor.

Put the car up on jack stands and rotate the wheels to see if you can duplicatethe sound. Try to isolate it as much as you can and give us more information.

Yeah I asked someone where the sound was coming from today when I drove past them. They said it was coming from my front brakes. Now I just dunno what's wrong with them. It just sounds like its scraping.

Inspect the pads first and see how much lining is left. If they are worn out (<3 mm), replace them and see if the noise goes away.
