Question Chirp noise again

Well, I have run out of ideas on what could be causing this noise on my car. Noticed it in the beginning of January and it has been here ever since. It sounds like it is coming from the rear of the car somewhere. I have replaced every bearing in the rear (pinion, carrier, and axle bearings) and have also just replaced the gear oil too. Tonight I did the u joints maybe thinking they were dried out but its still there. The only thing I haven't changed are the brakes. During the summer I did put new pads on the rear. My rotors aren't in the greatest shape. Could that be the cause? It is also speed related. As I speed up the sound gets faster. Will not do it when standing still.

it's usually the simple things that get ya. Take the rotors to have them turned. If the pads are still good, grab some of that anti squeak goo that you put on them. Or replace the pads too.

Rotors are half rusted on the back side, and the funny thing is that the fronts look even worse and they dont make any noise

Not frozen. I checked them the other day when I had it all apart changing my axle bearings and seals. Rotors are still the original ones. I'm just gonna do new pads and rotors all the way around when it gets a little warmer outside.
