2012 Civic LX weird sounds coming from the rear
Hi there, i'm new to the site but not the civic! I've owned my 2012 Civic since brand new and have always kept up to date with the work needing to be done on it. The car has 77,300km. For the last couple of weeks i've been hearing a huming sound coming from the rear( Something like 'voomp voomp voomp' i'm assuming the drums aren't lubed enough or at all. The sound occurs when i breaking under 38kph, after the car has had time to warm up a little. I've already replaced the front rotors and pads(originally thought i had warped rotors) but that didn't solve the issue. I recently sold off my jack and stands so I'm not able to look at it right now. Most likely will take the car in Saturday to be looked at, but for now does anyone have any ideas?

Go to a friends place that has the jack stands so you can check out the brakes or use the car jack just don't get under it without the safety jacks. Then you can check the brake wear.
If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

My guess: Choppy tire tread on the rears, mostly on the inboard edges
