Squealing noise in reverse

So this noise sounds like it maybe a brake clip but the sound ONLY happens when going in reverse. Everything works fine. Thoughts?

have you checked the brake pads for the rear,,and front,, because sounds travel in the car

could be dust buildup in the park brakes- inside the rear rotors

BINGO! Rear brakes were the issue. Thanks! So I know have all new rotors and pads. I can live with that.

note on aftermarket rear pads
Some have an extra tab on the backing plate-
if present it hits the caliper piston first and makes the pad extend crooked-
result is only half the pad contacts the rotor!!

the correct pads have a tab at one end for the noise maker arm, and may have another at opposite end that does nothing

the wrong pads have another raised tab/peg in the top center of inner pads backing plate

easy way to tell after they are installed is ck the inner side of rear rotor for wear
If rusty on half its width and shiny other half--guess what!
You can grind that tab off and reuse pads if angled wear not severe, it will even back out
