I'm getting an intermittant scrapping noise from my right side brake...I think its in the rear. I had the same thing on the left rear a year or two ago, shop told me they "had to take the caliper apart and adjust it". When I apply the brakes the noise stops but eventually comes back.
Any ideas?
 






I think you have a brake dragging. Try bleeding the brakes till new fluid comes out. A little compressed air in the line can make them drag. If that doesn't help check the parking brakes. Last, maybe there is a bad caliper.
 






Check out my brake how to vid. Link in my signature.
