As in around the springs, with the valve covers off? That would mean bad rings, you are hearing the blow-by. I'll bet you didn't listen at the oil fill pipe? Rings never do seal absolutely, so you would hear some at every piston.

I would ignore anything that is not associated with low compression. Like #6.

I'd say your prob is #2 rings.
