Rear passenger side makes noise when driving but stops when I touch the brakes?
What is your question?
Soon as I am driving down the road and get over three or four miles an hour my car in the rear passenger side starts making a ticking or clicking sound and does that until I touch the brakes but if I touch the brakes too hard it still makes the sound how do I get the sound to stop?
What makes this problem better or worse?
If I move the caliper with my tire iron a little bit

Hello, sounds like something in the brake pad, brake rotor area is causing the noise, because if not - engaging the brakes would have no bearing on the noise at all.
A good physical inspection of the rear brakes especially is needed to find out if it's a pad issue, a rotor issue, debris trapped or even a shim or rattle clip concern.

The ticking or clicking sound you're hearing from the rear passenger wheel of your Milan is likely caused by a faulty or improperly installed brake component. The possibilities include a foreign object lodged in the brake pad, brake hardware contacting the rotors, or even a defect in the rotor.
