When I drive my car, it makes a sound like when you go get your car smog and then put it on that machine that spins the tire. What is wrong with my car?

These vehicles had a problem with the parking brake shoes digging into the rear brake rotor which can make a loud sound. Here is a video of the job being done so you can check it out and the instructions for the replacement in the image below as well:

Can you please shoot a quick video with your phone so I can hear the noise? That way I can tell for sure what's going on. You can upload it here with your response. Check out the images (below). Let us know how it goes.
