It sounds like small rocks or a muted dry machine gun, and only is heard from about 2500 to 3000 rpms.
What could this be and what is the remedy?

sounds like a rod bearing about to let loose . running her that low on oil probably did some permanent damage . i wouldnt drive it . have it towed to a shop . actually is it still under factory warranty ? if so id take it to the dealer ( drive it in and dont say anything about running it low on oil ) if its not under warranty id have it towed to a shop to try and keep from doing any more damage . you may get lucky and save yourself a total engine rebuild or swap .
