Unhappy Tractor Oil

MY engine sounds like a tractor - its cranky loud and humming like it doesnt want to be on - especially at idle, or in manual mode, or when revving at a high rpm. I don't know why this is but does not sound like a high performance or high tech powerplant. I thought this may be related to a turbocharger as I've never had a turbo charged engine? is this a defect?

And it gives me a "low oil" warning every 2000 miles so I have to add a quart of oil. What does this mean? I asked the dealer they claim the oil consumption is normal and that it is NOT covered by scheduled maintenance since its not an oil "CHANGE". I have never owned a car that ever told me the oil was "LOW" before a regularly scheduled oil change so this does not seem right.
