new rear brake pads

Sounds like dirty pistons on the brake caliper. The dirt wont let the pads retract just that extra bit. The pistons stay exposed long enough to get a dirt ring around them while they are exposed due to the width of the worn pad. The way to correct it is to remove pads carefully extend piston, they will pop out if allowed to travel too far. Clean with a toothbrush and some brake fluid. Tho other option is to live with it.
To be sure you do not have a bigger problem is to ride the bike and without using the rear brake to stop and feel the rear rotor to make sure its not blistering hot....

Yep, still the same thing. You can always try like Hartoo said, ride it and see if they wear in.....

Lightly sand a cross hatch on the rotor, and clean ALL material off with a good brake cleaner, ride it easy and do several slow stops to reseat the pads

Same thing happened to me. I had the rear tire replaced and decided to do brake pads while I was there. I replaced stock pads with Lyndall pads. The buzzing didn't happen until a week after replacement (after break in). Rotor looks fine and doesn't get hot and sound stops when when pedal is released. Brakes work fine other than the noise.
