Default squeaking noise from right rear tire

I have been getting a speaking noise from the rear right tire. Usually happens when I start driving from stop, there is a clunking noise followed by a sqeaking noise which stops after the car goes over 20m/h. It happens ocassionally only. I thought it was the bearing first. Now I feel like it has some to go with parking brake. Rear rotors and pads were recently replaced. I noticed that the sqeaking goes away when I press the parking brake slightly. Could it be sticking parts in the parking brake or worn our shoes? Thanks.

I think you are on the right track. Mine squeaks a lot when the parking brake is on and I get in and out of the car. Maybe just take the rotors back off and hose down the parking brakes with brake cleaner and re-lube the contact points. You can probably do this without removing the shoes.

I am planning on trying that as soon as I get a chance.
