noise coming from brakes when car is off

I have been noticing this "problem" and no one else knows what i am talking about when i have them listen for it. after i drive around for any amount of time, and then park the car and turn it off, there is this light, whinning/buzzing sound coming from the rear brakes. I dont know if its due to the heat, but I've never noticed this on any other car. anybody else heard of or have this happening with their car? I know I need to get the rear brakes replaced, I had the fronts all redone (new calipers, pads and brembo rotors) in july....maybe that would fix the rear noise?? any help would be appreciated, thanks

Oh man, I used to have that sound too...
I had an exorcism for my car and no more noises.

what type of rims do you have??? i used to get that noise on my car - everyone told me its cause the style of rim(it was a cracking type of noise.......when its hot it expands.......as it cooled off it got smaller and cause the cracking noise) i had didnt allow the rotors the "breathe" well enough

Seriously, i had this issue, but it really didn't bother me and it went away after I changed my rotor and pads.
