It could be that it was overfilled, or it could be that there is a crack in the head gasket that is allowing coolant to enter the oil pan.

Or it could simply be condensation in the engine which usually occurs if the car does too many short journeys.

What would cause foam to be in oil?

Most likely a blown head gasket. Foam or froth is caused when antifreeze mixes with oil in the crank case. Could also be a leaking radiator if it is a dual engine/transmission coolant system. Can also be you overfilled it and the crankshaft is making contact with the oil creating a froth of air mixed with oil. Drain the excess out if it is overfull, as this will destroy the engine.

What noise does it make when added to much oil to the engine?

You more than likely will not hear any unusual noise. However, if you overfill the crankcase this can cause engine damage. The crankshaft will make contact with the oil and create a froth. This froth will contain air mixed with oil which makes a poor lubricant. This will cause engine wear. If you suspect the engine oil is overfull simply park the vehicle on a level surface, wait at least 15 minutes after the engine has been shut down, and check the oil level. If it is overfull, drain out enough to get it down to the full mark.
