Quick oil pressure question

Getting oil light and buzzer on JX. Plumbed in oil pressure gauge. At tickover I'm getting 21psi and at 2000rpm 44psi. Is this normal?
Thanks

JX minimum is 1.1bar @ 2000RPM so hot oil.
21PSI at idle

So is that too much pressure or am I okay?

Had a drive around the block and pressure at 2000rpm went down to around 38psi. But the buzzer still came on. Am I right is saying the pressure is okay and that there is an electrical fault?

Yes electrical fault, either the senders or the light/buzzer in the dash.

Thanks, glad it is okay to drive until I fix the buzzer.
