I had the rear brake wheel cylinders replaced and now the car is very loud in the back. Sounds like I have big tires on it.

Check the wheel bearing adjustment... could be too loose!

Watch my video on noisy wheel bearing... you might have to turn the volume up a bit.
If one side is noisier than the other, then that bearing (2 actually) need to be replaced.

It is not the wheel bearings and still loud.

Take it to a shop... I can't hear the noise or test drive the car.
It was a logical guess that the bearing was noisy.
Something was not done correctly then.
