מלכים ב, פרק י״א, פסוק י״ג

A sudden and intense uproar erupts from the House of God during the crowning of a new king. Hearing this massive commotion, Athaliah's attention is immediately drawn to the area, and she rushes to the scene to uncover the cause of the disturbance [אברבנאל].

The source of this heavy noise is understood in two ways. One perspective suggests it is the unified sound of the masses running together in excitement [מצודת דוד, רד״ק]. The primary approach among commentators, however, identifies two distinct groups creating the uproar. It is the combined sound of the royal guards marching in full uniform alongside the deafening cheers of the gathered people [רלב״ג, רד״ק, ביאור שטיינזלץ, אברבנאל].

This was not merely the chaotic sound of a moving crowd, but a massive burst of joy and celebration. The guards and the people united in their cheers, praising the new king and shouting for his long life [רד״ק, אברבנאל]. The overwhelming commotion was filled with loud cries of happiness, dancing, and the clapping of hands as the assembly celebrated the royal coronation [רד״ק].
