Exclamation Rear brakes squeal and squeak when driving.

Hi, okay so...
1. Rear brakes squeal and squeak while driving (even when the brakes aren't applied).
2. Sounds like nails on a chalkboard, but sometimes it's not so loud.
3. It's been raining alot here in IL for the past 2 weeks could this be why?

(2006 cobalt 2.4)

Both sides ? if so is there anything under the ebrake handle that wont let it down all the way ?
Something could of fell in underneath it.
Otherwise your pads are worn and need to be replaced or the calipers are sticking a little and not opening up far enough.

well i played with the parking brake a little and it seems to have cut down the squeaking alot, but it also could be the rear brake pads i guess.

thanks for the help!

Definitely sounds like the pads are worn out.
