Drive it with the handbrake partialy on or apply it whilst moving (just enough to cause a bit of drag), if the noise changes its got something to do with the handbrake, it maybe as simple as the adjustment of cables or shoes being incorrect but it could be a spring inside the drum being faulty or detached.
