Sound is a vibration, which can be transmitted to a physical object, such as glass. If the pitch of the sound matches the natural vibration frequency of the object, and if the volume of the sound is loud enough, then the resulting vibration can cause the object to break. In the case of glass (usually wine crystals), the notes that cause resonance vibration are rather high-pitched.
As a result, shattering glass has become a fictional shorthand for indicating that a sound (often someone singing) is particularly loud or high-pitched, or otherwise to indicate that they're a terrible singer (an acoustic analogue to Mirror-Cracking Ugly)... or alternatively, a really good singer, confusingly enough. (The last one is probably the closest to reality, as the singer would have to match the exact frequency of the tone that the glass makes when struck and create destructive resonance by holding the note long enough. Not a feat many people can pull off. As Mythbusters demonstrated, it also requires being extremely close to the glass, so Don't Try This at Home.)
Sometimes coupled with Dramatic Shattering. Compare Super-Scream and Make Some Noise, which cover all-purpose (i.e. not limited to brittle materials) sonic attacks. Related to Gale-Force Sound, which affects things other than glass. Frequently happens at the performances of a Dreadful Musician or an operatic Brawn Hilda.
Compare Cute, but Cacophonic.

In Pokémon Detective Pikachu, the underground fighting ring has a lot of Loudred in it that produce music for the battles that are held in it. When they inhale some R, they start spewing out some dubstep so loud that it causes a tank with a Magikarp in it to break, leaving the Magikarp flopping on the ground.

Wonder Woman (1987): At a distance and before she really picks up volume Silver Swan's scream can shatter glass. Once she's at a target and as loud as she can be she can shatter brick and destroy buildings as she did to Cassie Sandsmark's school. Just how powerful her scream is depends on which Silver Swan is in question however, Valerie can blow out eardrums and shatter glass but cannot scream down a brick wall.

The Simpsons:
When Bart's class visited the Springfield PD, Bart lined up about 20 megaphones, turned them all on, and said "Testing" into the first one. This shattered glass for miles around.
Parodied in another episode where Lisa hitting a high note seems to cause a glass to shatter, only to reveal Homer has shot the glass with a BB gun.
In one instance when the family visits the movie theater, a short parody of the THX sound test is played. The sound is so loud it shatters Hans Moleman's glasses — then another guy's teeth, the emergency exit signs, parts of the ceiling, and culminates in making a poor sap's head explode. Even then, Grandpa is implied to have not heard it clearly.

MythBusters tested this one (explicitly referencing the Memorex commercial with Ella Fitzgerald above) and managed to replicate it. Jamie wasn't able to hold the right note long enough to break the wine crystal (he made the mistake of singing an octave too low), but Adam was, and the metal singer they brought in to give vocal lessons was able to break it without even using any amplification. The show did highlight how difficult the latter feat was, however; even the metal singer (Jaime Vendera) required 20 attempts to break even one glass sans amplification, and he had his mouth right next to the glass - the high-speed shows that the glass shatters and spreads out for quite a while (relatively speaking, of course) before he reacts and pulls away, so he could have easily been hurt.

Herbie Rides Again: Alonzo Hawk sends his nephew Willoughby Whitfield to try to convince Mrs. Steinmetz to give up her old firehouse so his uncle can tear it down to build a new skyscraper in its place. However, Mrs. Steinmetz's protector, Nicole, who had been displaced by Hawk, convinces Willoughby to see his uncle for the ruthless so-and-so that he is and to help protect the old lady as well. Not the bravest man in the world, Willoughby tries to call his uncle from a glass phone booth to convince him to call off his construction project. In response, Alonzo Hawk sees this as a betrayal and yells gibberish at his nephew through the phone, culminating in such a loud roar of rage that it actually manages to shatter the glass windows of the phone booth his nephew is in.

Sesame Street did a variation on this with Diva La Diva, a one-off character who visited the street in a 90's episode. Professed to be "the world's loudest singer," La Diva's pipes are definitely loud enough to cause damage and while there's one instance of her voice shattering some glasses on the counter at Hooper's Store, her voice mostly causes trembling and making shelves, with items on them, fall in the Fix-It Shop and Hooper's. At the end of the episode, a cassette tape of her voice makes everything in Big Bird's nest fall off the walls - not even the Mr. Hooper picture was safe!

The Mermaid, another comedy involving a, uhm, mermaid, did a Splash reference with the titular character (a mermaid posing as a call girl to investigate a property tycoon) going on a duet and raising her voice unexpectedly while at an outdoor market. Cue glass refrigerator doors, wine glasses, beer bottles, light bulbs, and everything made of glass from within a 100-meter-radius shattering.

Invoked and parodied in The Absent-Minded Professor: The opening scene features Professor Brainard attempting to demonstrate this with a trumpet and a glass placed on the table. His playing fails to crack the glass but manages to shatter every other glass object in the room, including beakers full of chemicals that fill the room with smoke as the opening credits roll.

The Powerpuff Girls (1998):
The episode "Nuthin' Special" has Buttercup trying to find out what her special power is, only to be matched and one-upped by Blossom and Bubbles. One of them is their "sonic scream," which shatters every glass window in the downtown area. The crowd gathered around seemed to be more interested in this sibling contest than in the collateral damage to the city.
The episode "Tiara Trouble" from the 2016 reboot has Bubbles able to sing so high it shatters glass. She uses it to defeat a possessed Princess Morbucks by shattering the cursed tiara she's wearing.

In the 3rd party subsystem Spheres of Power for Pathfinder, this is doable by any spherecaster with the Destruction sphere and either Reverberating, Shattering, or Thunder Blast. However, two abilities stand out in particular. Shattering Blast does Exactly What It Says on the Tin and is better for breaking objects. And with the Skilled Casting (Perform (sing)) drawback, this can even be tied to a character singing what is, presumably, a very high note.

Get Smart:
In "The Hot Line", the Chief goes undercover as a singing waiter and lampshades the trope. 99 asks him to demonstrate on a glass which he does, only to shatter a nearby mirror instead (which Max bills him $40 for). It proves to be a Chekhov's Skill when he uses a high D to break a bad guy's glasses when We Need a Distraction.
In "Pheasant Under Glass", a Brawn Hilda opera singer is recruited to hit a high note to shatter an unbreakable Glassy Prison holding a Kidnapped Scientist. When her note breaks all the glass in the vicinity except the booth, she squares her shoulders and just walks right through it.
In "The Groovy Guru", Max and 99 are locked in a sound booth that amplifies all noise. In one of his rare moments of genius, Max uses the tuning fork from his watch to produce the right sound to blow open the door.

LEGO Adaptation Game:
Willie's special ability in LEGO Indiana Jones is to scream, which breaks nearby glass.
The same ability is possessed by Syrena and Philip in LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean.
And by Black Canary and Man-Bat in LEGO Batman 2: DC Superheroes.
In LEGO Harry Potter, you use Mandrakes to break glass, but your character has to put earmuffs on first.
If you use the "Singing Mandrakes" cheat, this makes the Mandrake's screeches into beautiful singing while still shattering the glass.
In LEGO Dimensions, Homer Simpson can break glass by belching after drinking Buzz Cola.
In LEGO The Incredibles, Kari McKeen and Tony Rydinger can break glass by screaming. In the same game, Sulley can break glass with his roar.
In LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2, Spider-Gwen can break glass by playing a drumkit.
LEGO Jurassic World also has this ability for characters such as Lex Murphy, Kelly Malcolm, and Amanda Kirby.

The Adventures of Tintin:
When Tintin first encounters Bianca Castafiore in King Ottokar's Sceptre, they're in a car together and she starts singing. Tintin internally comments that fortunately, the windows are made of safety glass.
In The Calculus Affair, the objects randomly breaking in Marlinspike Castle turn out to be the results of Professor Calculus's ultrasound experiments. This gets him kidnapped by Bordurians who want him to develop weapons of mass destruction for them (and Syldavians who try to steal him from the Bordurians for the same end).

In "Band Geeks", on the last day of rehearsal before they play at the Bubble Bowl, Squidward suggests to his band that people will think they're good if they play loud enough. They play so loud that they blow out all of the windows in the building.
In "Krusty Love", after receiving a bill that's even worse than the one he thought he got, Mr. Krabs screams so loud that the ship-in-a-bottle fancy restaurant that he and Mrs. Puff were dating at shatters.
In "Single Cell Anniversary", Plankton sings a note that shatters Squidward's glass of iced tea and Sandy's air helmet.

In an episode of That's So Raven Raven's grandmother came to visit and demonstrated this ability which she taught to Chelsea who then uses it in her own singing audition. However, as the episode's main story line was how Raven's friends became annoyed with how Raven's visions tended towards dragging them into embarrassing situations they force her to promise not to tell them about any visions she gets and she got a vision before the audition. You can obviously guess what happens when all the judges are wearing glasses...

In the opening to Garfield in: "Along Came a Splut", Garfield blasts Simon & Garfunkel at full volume, shattering every window in a five-mile radius. (Why it didn't break the TV nearby is unexplained.)

Transformers (2007): Bumblebee (who is in disguise as a ratty old Camaro) turns on his radio at a high enough volume to shatter the windows of every other vehicle in the used car lot he's infiltrated, forcing the dealership owner to sell him at a price within his target's budget.

The Jim Henson Hour: In the Batman Cold Open to "Power", a singer presented by Leon does this when she hits a high note, shattering several TV screens in MuppeTelevision. When Kermit shows a clip of her doing that, it ends up shattering the screen it's playing on.

In The Smurfs, Harmony's playing the triangle at a pitch that makes Brainy's glasses crack in "Smurphony In 'C'", and Denisa's scream that makes the vials in Gargamel's hovel shatter in "Denisa's Greedy Doll".

Played with in an early Code Lyoko episode as it's not initially realized that sound (supersonic and generated by XANA) broke the "glass" in question. Rather the plastic cup happened to break when Yumi, angry at Sissi, squeezed it while lecturing her. Still this trope is lampshaded when Ulrich points out that it's a plastic cup, not "Venetian crystal" while tending to Yumi's cut hand.

In LEGO Harry Potter, you use Mandrakes to break glass, but your character has to put earmuffs on first.
If you use the "Singing Mandrakes" cheat, this makes the Mandrake's screeches into beautiful singing while still shattering the glass.
