The saying "two's company, three's a crowd" refers to the phenomenon which can happen when a third person joins a group but doesn't really mesh with one of the other two. For example, if A and B are best friends, then B's boyfriend C turns up, A will feel awkward. "A" will feel like a "third wheel".

Alternatively, the saying could be in reference to the way people consider groups of people to be classified. To put it simplistically, a person views two people as an acceptable group, but three people is too many. This is similar to how some people consider something to be noise while others say it's music.
