I'd echo what 8pack said. Give us some more info on the noise. It wasn't there prior to your brake job? It's there whether or not you're applying brakes so I'm guessing it's not brake "squeal" from pads and rotors vibrating when contacting each other. Can you pinpoint the noise coming from one rear wheel or the other? Is it a rotational thumping or clicking noise suggesting one of your rotors is making contact with an adjacent surface as it spins? Sometimes the softer metal around the outside of the rotors can get bent while you're working. You're probly gonna have to take the wheels off and have a look. The metal wire clips which you snap on over the brake pads to hold them in place can be tricky to install so check with the video to make sure they're on properly. Is your parking brake adjusted and working correctly? If you're getting a rattling noise, possibly one of your brake shoes is loose and moving around.
