What type of pads did you get? Is this noise only sometimes, or everytime you back-up?

is it kinda like a grabbing right before you stop...

when i back out of the driveway i can feel the back brakes grabbing, and when i'm just about to come to a complete stop you can hear them grab

is this it? where it feels like they dont quite stop or are having trouble stoppping even though they do?

can you feel anything in the pedel? I had something like that. brake pads were worn, ate into the rotors. Had to get new rotors and brakes. Made a sound similar to what you are describing then escelated into grinding noise and finally a funny feeling when i pushed the pedel.
