Hello
I would think that the noise is your back brake pads rubbing metal to metal. That means that you have to replace the back brake shoes and brake drums. I would check that first, If the brake pads are good then you have to replace the whole axle/rear. Hope this helps. good luck. John

Most probabally the rear brakes are worn off. Take the wheels and brake drums off and check.

SOURCE: Grinding noise in rear end when braking. Noise

This could be cause by your worn out pads. Some car would have thin metals on the pads that gets exposed when the pad is wearing out. The exposed metal then makes contact with the disk. If the pad is still in good condition you may want to inspect physically the wheel and its assemble for physical wear. It could also be caused by bearings starting to wear out or may just need a grease job.
