So I've noticed a weird sound coming from the rear short of rubbing noise like metal on metal but very very faint when turning right and vehicle is in motion. It sounds like its coming from the rear brakes. I tried lighting holding brakes and not holding brakes when turning I hear it either way. I'm clueless also after 1000 miles on new pads I still smell that usual brake pad smell when having new pads is that still possible after 1000 miles??? I want to say the smell is mostly coming from the rear possible brakes stuck? Holding? And if so I don't feel it at all maybe cause its the rear brakes and they are not as strong as front?? I've put the car in drive no gas and it feels like its moving freely with no noise unless I turn right.

Thanks in advance

Have you tried messing with the parking brake when it's making the noise? It's a different set of drum pads within the same rotor and might be dragging or loose!

Sounds like a stuck caliper due to brake hose collapsing on it self.

Change brake hose.
Check Caliper and guide pins for free movement.

What do you mean by brake hose collapsing on it self? And I will check GUide pins for movement and let you know the results.

Metal to metal can be different things. Is it a clunk, bang, ping, or scraping noise?

I would say scraping but that word makes me think of worn brake pads hitting rotors which the sound is no were near that.
