Try upgrading the rear pad compound.  I had a set of $12.99 pads on the car
that came with the rebuilt calipers, and the noise was so bad I swapped them
out in a week for a set that cost $50, but virtually eliminated the noise.

This is a REALLY common problem on all Tauri with rear disc brakes, and I
think it can only be averted by keeping on top of the rear brake maintenance
and using expensive, high-quality pads.  I think the problem stems from the
fact that the pads on disc brake systems are always in slight contact with
the caliper to keep decent pedal feel, so if the pad compound is cheap and
prone to making noise, it'll make it ALL of the time.
