The high notes that make dogs leave the room and singers feel important.
means To triple something in amount, or the highest register in music and sound — the top end of pitch, volume, or quantity.
from From Latin triplus, meaning threefold, via Old French treble. The musical sense arose because medieval musicians wrote the highest voice part as a third line added above the usual two-part harmony — literally the 'triple' voice — and the name stuck even after the original three-part arrangement was forgotten. So the shrillest sound in the room owes its name to simple counting, not to any innate quality of pitch.
