Default rear wheel noise

got a 98 neon expresso

i have a weird noise coming from the right rear tire. its not the struts, although those are getting old.

its almost a grinding/whining when driving, but not a constant noise, seems worse on a left turn. i have allready checked the bearing hub assembly for any play at all and did not find even the slightest budge in slop as i call it.

i had to back off the e-brake shoes as they seemed to be rubbing hard and that helped with the grinding, but im really starting to question the calipers/rotors. i had to replace the front rotors this summer as they stuck on me. wondering if the rear ones are starting to do the same now.

heres a sound clip of what it sounds like in my garage for the grinding

What about the strut mounts? How do they look?
