Default Metallic rubbing/hiss from rear

I'm getting a metallic hiss/rubbing and eventually squeaking from the rear. It occurs as the wheels turn, and is unaffected by application of brakes. The higher speed the car is going, the less you can hear it, but as I'm slowing to a stop light the "hiss hiss hiss" is heard each rotation of the rear wheels. It does not sound healthy! Anyone know what this could be? it's going in for warranty work so I would like some idea before telling them. Thanks in advance :yesnod:

emergency brake is sticking.....it is adjustable

try to pull it up real hard about 10 times.....

if that fails...apply it a little while moving and let it adjust itself that way

I had the problem, but it is gone now

thanks
