I have the same noise, it is just occasionally when driving round a sharp bend. I have already jacked up and shaken the wheel, there is very slight play. I guess the disc pads are brought to bear on discs when taking a tight curve. My verdict check..... to see if there is overheating on long runs. if the noise gets worse renew the bearing. A case of watch this place.
Could very well be a wheel bearing. Jack the car up on the wheel making the noise, grab onto the tire and try to shake it, if there is any play and or clunking noise the wheel bearing is most likely the culprit.
SOURCE: rear wheel bearings
First check the brakes on that side. You may be hearing the warning rivets on the brake lining. If it's good, You need to remove the axle and go to the machine shop and have a new bearing pressed on. The machine shop should only charge you about $20.00 to do this.

I'd be looking for a BRAKE problem. Not sure of your vehicles year, but I would remove the R/R wheel and drum ( if equpped ) to inspect brakes. Slight IN and OUT movement is normal. Hope this helps
SOURCE: grinding noise from rear. Brake pads? Bearing maybe?
Have the rear brakes inspected. These are real easy to change if they need to be. You need to look under the car just outside the differential. This is an inboard brake system so the wheels don't need to be removed.
Testimonial: "Thanks, I am going to have the rear brakes checked today."
SOURCE: Drum brakes causing intermittent grinding noise
Sounds like one of the springs that hold the rear brakes in place broke. Jack her up, pop off the tire, remove the drum and take a look. If you need to see what a good one looks like, look on the other side.
This is not a very common problem, but I saw it last year on a 69 chevelle.
Good Luck and thanks for using FixYa!!
