treble clef
It refers to the pitch range. High register notes are high pitched notes (like in the Treble Clef). Low register are lower pitched notes (like in the Bass Clef)
Treble
This is a basic physics concept. The longer an instrument, the lower the frequency of the sound waves coming out of it, and therefore a lower pitch. The Oboe is a small, short instrument. The bassoon, on the other hand, is a large instrument. Because it is longer, you get a lower pitch. This principle applies for all instruments.
Sometimes a clef has the number 8 below it, which indicates that the notes are to be played one octave lower than written. It can be used with treble clef for people who are unfamiliar with bass clef, or in bass clef to avoid excess ledger lines.
The standardly used clefs in modern and classical western music are treble clef, bass clef, alto clef, and tenor clef. Alto and tenor clefs are mainly used in vocal pieces but any have been used and can be found in just about any type of music for any part.

The upper is called the "treble" clef; the lower is the "bass" clef.
Treble
Clefs do not have 'sounds'. They are merely tools to indicate where on the musical stave notes are to be placed. However, the treble clef 'places' higher notes than the bass clef. If a clef is placed in the middle of the staff, then the notes that follow that clef are of that clef. For example, if the bass clef is placed on the treble staff, the notes that follow it are to be interpreted as "bass clef" notes and played using lower notes on the piano. The opposite is true if the treble clef is placed on the bass staff.
This is called the Grand Staff. It is commonly used for instruments with large ranges such as the piano and the organ. On the piano, the right hand usually plays the notes written in treble clef, and the left hand plays the bass clef notes.
The Treble Clef has higher notes than the Bass clef.
