Default weird sound upon slowing down

as i slow there. there is an pulsing noise coming from the rear. sorts of remind me of like a spring getting compressed and let go. the sound gets louder and louder as the car goes slower. any where i should start to look at first?

Can you feel it through the brake pedal? Might be a warped rotor. Jack the rear of the car up and spin the wheels (make sure out of gear and parking brake off). Can you feel it dragging?

It might also be a bad wheel bearing. With the rear jacked up, grab the top and bottom of the tire. Try to wiggle back and forth. If you can wiggle it, then the bearing is bad.
