The former is OK; it means the alignment isn't perfect (my chainring has a wobble, probably from when I went for a ride and fell off last month), but it is within tolerance. I also have it on the upper end of tension, so probably the chain is louder for that. On the other hand, when there is one point that makes noise, even at low RPM, that's binding, and that's bad.
