About This Quote

The Oxford English Dictionary defines a shrill as "a high-pitched, piercing sound". In this example, the word is being used to describe a person's voice. People who have shorter vocal cords are often perceived as being shriller than those who have longer ones, and it can be a disadvantage for people who want to sing or be heard.
