For the last few days my car has developed a softish pulsating sound from rear end. The sound only persists when I'm deccelerating (with brakes applied or not), is coming from a rear right side, or maybe rear center'ish, and seems to get louder the slower I go. Appears from 30mph down to 0. Pulse interval seems to be shorter than the time it takes to make full turn of a wheel.

I'm about to take the car to mechanic soon, but maybe it's a common symptom of a common problem, so I checked here first. Is there anything I should inspect extra carefully in the service? Mechanic hasn't been working with Mustangs before.

check your drum brakes does it sound like a whine?

+1 about drum brakes, sounds like a slapping brake shoe to me.

Thank you, this could really be the case.

I guess I will try to decelerate with handbrake on a few clicks, to see if the sound disappears.

You mean the handbrake pads, right? I have discs in rear as well ('95 GT). Just checking
