The Jews got up to revel around the golden calf. The Jews revel were in essence distressed but it was masked with drinks and noise makers. The Jews may have gotten up to celebrate, but it was no celebration. It may have looked like a party to the untrained eye, but Moshe knew the true sound of joy. It did not exist with the Golden Calf.
True joy is the harmony of spirituality and contentment.
Superficial sounds of euphoria and celebration are heard by those with true insight as sounds of battle and distress.
