Default ahhhh dam noise ....please help

(rear passenger side is the issue)

I changed my brakes the other day about probably about 2 weeks ago because i heard some noise which i assumed it was my brakes. Not thinking it could be anything else. After i changed them i thought i fixed the problem but after couple minutes of driving i heard the noise again and the more i drove the louder it gets, to the point where its so annoying to drive. At first it sounded like brakes where grinding the rotor, sounds like a (swoosh, swoosh swoosh) and get faster and lounder as driving and when i slow do to dissect the problem and hear it better its like a creaking noise going basically 1 mph super slow then i hit the gas hard (swoosh swoosh swoosh)

I spent all day trying to figure it out and after proper lubing and cleaning of the rear passenger brake system i still here it. When i slow down like 1mph its sound like a creaking noise, like your stepping on hard wood floor. I can only think of 3 options 1) it can be the caliper stuck but sound doesnt seem it would make that noise when slowing down. 2) i'm thinking its probably the wheel bearing but i jacked it up no play on the wheel and i thought it was a humming sound when the bearing goese bad (then again this is my first rear wheel drive car, so it can be different) , leaves me with 3 maybe i need new rotors and brakes back there, which like i mentioned i put new brake pads, to me this seems unlikely

can someone help me out i'm going crazy here, that noise is driving me up the wall, especially driving in town when the noise bounces off the streets. I'm pretty car savy so i know i put the brakes on there good and i'm just clueless right now. any help would be greatly appreciated

this is the car PMSing right now

Does it make the noise when you race the engine or apply the brakes with the car sitting still?

Can you make a video with sound so we can see what the speeds and rpms are when it's making the noise?

Does your emergency brake work well? Might be time for new pads inside your rotors?! Other possibilities are Spindle Bearing.

Let us know!!! I have the same noise!! may be the e-brakes are not adjusted correctly?
And in the worst case scenario, it is a bearing....
