Default Weird noise from rear end

I was hearing a weird noise coming from the Back. I put the car on jacks and took off the driver side tire. The noise is coming from inside the brake caliper. It makes the noise not only when I am braking but when im just driving normal too. It is like a high squeeky noise. Any ideas? Thanks

Your brake pad is rubbing against your rotor. Whoever installed the last set of brake pads did a crappy job.

Are the pads worn down & the sensor/squealer is contacting the rotor?
They do this to warn you of a thin pad lining.

I took it apart and you guys were right. There wasn't even hardly a pad there. Thanks for the info.
