Default Brake Caliper Noise

I just put on some easy brake calipers. I had to remove the wheel then pop them on. They all work fin but the back right tire makes this weird noise that sounds squeaky, sort of like a rubber duck. And it makes this noise each time the tire makes a full rotation, so the faster i go, the faster the noise
I took the tire off again, checked everything which looked fine, then put the tire back on. Still the noise.
Anyone may know whats causing this?

i have never heard of easy brake calipers. what are they? Covers or a full caliper.
if so did you remove the pads or rotor?

sounds like the backing plate (Thin metal disk behind the rotor) may have been bent during installation. check to make sure there is at least 5mm of clearance between this steel plate and the rotor

I checked the rotor and backing plate, seemed fine. So i took the cover off and the car ran fine. Then i put the cover back on, and the noise came back. There is clearance for the cover and all, so idk the problem.

Check the cover there has to be a mark somewhere on it where it is rubbing. The description makes me think it is the wheel tapping the cover.

Just drove it a mile or so. Was extremely loud, and the cover has no marks on it anywhere indicating rubbing.
