When you are speaking of singing voices, the usual four are (from high to low) soprano, alto, tenor and bass. So alto does sing higher than bass. When you are speaking of written staffs, the two staffs are treble (higher) and bass (lower). An alto singing part is typically written on the treble staff; but the alto range extends down (using ledger lines below the staff) into notes that can also be written on the bass staff.

Is a alto higher than a treble?
It's the other way around, actually.
What does treble mean in speakers?
In music, a Treble is a boy whose voice has not yet broken, and who generally sings the top part of a system. Also, in bell ringing (see campanology), the treble, is the lightest bell in the tower.
Are triple and treble synonymous or why the use of treble outside music?
Yes. Triple and Treble both mean three times as much, though triple is more informal than treble. Treble in music originated as one of three clefs - that is treble, bass and alto. It is sometimes thought that treble in SATB originated in all male choirs with no soprano singers and young boys as altos, therefore being one of three as well.

Is A bass clef and a treble clef the same?
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.
What is the difference between treble and soprano?
A treble is the highest of the four main male voice types, usually found in cathedral choirs, and is sung by boys. The soprano is the highest of the three main female voice types, higher than mezzo-soprano and alto.
