How low is too low?  What sort of pressures are you seeing at idle, at
startup and fully warmed?  You may want to pull the pan and take a
look at some of the rod bearings.

A worn rocker shaft can also contribute to noise and low oil pressure.
This is easier to check than the rod bearings.  Just remove the valve cover
and push the rocker arms around, see if you can see any scoring or wear
on the shaft.
