Default Rattling sound coming from engine?

Hey guys,

Saturday night I was driving my car the other night and heard some knocking from the front of the car at about 60 mph (usually I drive with music on and pretty loud because of all the road noise the Z takes in). First thing I thought was "@#$% rod knocking! I pulled over checked my oil and it was half way between low and high on the dipstick. Don't know how accurate that was since the car had just been running. So I went to Walmart and bought a qt of oil just in case, and added it. I drove home for about an hour hoping nothing would happen. I've been driving the car sense then and nothing but a faint/progressively louder jingling noise now at about 80mph+
Can't really tell if it makes that noise at high RPMs since the exhaust is too loud to hear the rattle.

Anyone know what it might be?

Really don't want to take it to my dealer. Have had bad experiences with them, and this is the last car I buy off that lot.
