I would take a look at the parking brake pedal, make sure it is not depressed just a small amount. Usually, the parking brake indicator flashes like crazy though if the pedal is depressed. It could be the switch for the pedal is bad. I have never looked at one, but you may be able to just disconnect the switch and see if the noise stops.

I hope this is helpful to you!
