Have you had the emergency brake shoes checked? They are inside a little drum in the rotor. This might be the cause of your noise.

Most brake shops will give you a free estimate. They'll pull the wheels and show you exactly what is wrong. Then politely tell them you will have to think about such a costly repair and drive staraight to your local auto parts store and pick up the part and DIY. they may even remedy the problem by simply removing the brake drum and freeing up whatever is causing it to stick (ie. dust,dirt, small stone etc.)

It also may be the emergency brake cable not returning completely to the release position.
