Did you happen to go down any gravel roads or spin out on a gravel parking lot or something related to that?

If it only happens when he puts it in reverse i think it would be more then just an ebrake.

does it reverse smoothly, or does it shake or feel rough when reversing? Did it just start doing it suddenly, or did you do something and it started? DETAILS

Are you describing an internal noise or is it just a blown trans/torque mount?

check your front brakes...did you wear them out to the point where they're just metal and the metal part of the pad is wedged between the rotor and the caliper, but not in the clips?

The reason I asked about the gravel road is because I drive down gravel roads a lot and one time my car started making a terrible grinding sound that appeared to be coming from the rear drivers side brake but only in reverse, it was quite in forward. I took off the tire and I found a quarter sized rock that had become lodged between the brake and some sort of shielding on the inside of the brake. for some reason it only made a sound in reverse.
I just thought I would tell you something that you could check out yourself without spending money on a mechanic first.

when you say "go in reverse" do you mean as you put it in reverse or move in reverse?

I heard of the midget thng before but never the iron shorts part 
after more info has been provided, yes I concur with everybody that said possible gravel inside the rear wheels where the parking brakes are. Stop trying to be cool by doing awesome wheel spins on gravel. A guy on a Huffy can do that too
