I presume you are alluding to this passage from Jaques' famous Seven Ages of Man speech:
His big manly voice,
Turning again toward childish treble, pipes
And whistles in his sound.
What he's saying is that this old man's voice is becoming high-pitched and reedy, like a child's voice (hence "childish treble"). Whistles and pipes (this means instruments like penny whistles) have this kind of high-pitched tone.
