New Brakes + Calipers, loud sound when Braking in Reverse

I searched the forum for similar problems but the answers didn't seem to be very complete, so I'll try posting my exact problem. I installed brand new discs + pads all around (Axxis Ceramics + El Cheapo discs), and I also got new calipers for the rear (rebuild). Right after the install I've been having a problem, every time I go in reverse (when I start the car in the morning it doesn't do it, but right after it starts doing it and it gets louder the more I drive) the car makes a groaning sound until I come to a complete stop. It will start with a low wwww and it would get pretty loud until I stop the car, seems to happen the most when I parallel parking. It's like a resonating sound, something like an echo.

I have no idea what the problem could be, the shop claims its my pads/discs and since I didn't buy it from them they won't fix it, if ever it's the calipers I want to claim it with them. Another mechanic after looking at them tells me everything looks right and I just need to give the new brakes time to bed in. I find this odd since I've had them for a month now and the problem persists. Any help would really be appreciated

You say the new brake system has been in for 1 month now? Did you ever "break them in"? Also, you say the sound becomes louder when parallel parking - does it become quieter when the wheels are straight?
