Default Problem retracting Rear Calipers/Pad noise

I've replaced the rear pads on my 07 and I still have the pad noise on the rotors. It just looks/feels like something is preventing the calipers from retracting far enough to prevent the pads from rubbing on the rotors. While up on a hoist and the wheels raised I can turn the wheels fairly easily so the calipers are releasing and not binding on the rotors, but when I start the car and put it in gear then the tshhh tshhh tshhh starts up on both sides about 20 mph.
Is there be something else in the hydraulic braking system preventing the calipers from retracting just a bit more . The noise is driving me nuts. I'd hate to go buy new calipers for $150 each and find out this doesn't fix the problem.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Maybe you have warped rotors

When driving there is absolutly no pulsing when then brakes are applied so I don't think the rotors have warped - but a good suggestion.Thanks.
