Default Weird brake noise!!

I just got a 1992 civic cx. I was driving it around today and i kept hearing this weird scratching noise. Like finger nails on a chalk board. Its only coming from the back and makes the noise when just driving normally. I have nooo idea what it could be. I was thinking like the drum brakes were bad, etc. If anyone has any idea that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

time to change your brake pads. the sound is the metal indicator on the pad rubbing against the rotor telling you to change your shiznit.

sorry man i didn't even think about drum brakes. i have no idea if there are wear indicators on drum brakes like there are on disks. there probably are, though.

so i official don't know what the noise is

hahaha, i figured you were talking about the disc brakes. Thanks for the help though. I do need new pads for the front though. Anyone else might know what it could be causing? I have miata wheels on my car but i found out one of the wheels are bent so i put a 13" steel on there so maybe my car is lop-sided or something. Could this be the noise im hearing??
