Have you checked your lug nuts?

If not that, it could definitely be a rear break shoe flopping. New shoes
and drums will fix it. If it is this, the sound should go away under
braking but so will the abovementioned lug nut problem, sometimes. Check
with the handbrake when it happens again. But check those lug nuts first.
