Default Rubbing noise from rear

Last couple of days I've noticed when I go over speedbumps (slowly) I get a noise coming from the rear which sounds almost like my rear tyres are rubbing in the arches.... They don't as I have OEM 17's and OEM suspension so what could the cause of the noise be.....?? Very odd.....

Could also describe the noise as if when I go over speed bumps the exhaust would be scrapping against the floor but again it's not that as I haven't lowered the car. It's not just speed bumps I tend to hear it on bumpy roads to and on the odd occasion when I'm cornering hard.

Any ideas people?

Anti-chatter springs on the brake pads probably need copper-easing.

Hondas do that generally.

Just had my rear brakes replaced at TGM so wouldn't have thought it was that but thanks for the reply.

I will have a look and see, thanks. Does it scrap against the floor if it's loose or something?
