A "singing sword" is really just a sword that whistles as it slices through the air. But it is also a somewhat romantic term for an sentient or empathic weapon, of which literature is fond.

However, aside from a few examples of the creepy, cursed, corrupted type (and a few fairytales) the singing sword is almost never used in a genuine manner. Writers are much happier playing around with the actually really annoying talking weapon, whether it be bloodthirsty, altogether too noble minded and with no concept of 'mortality,' or simply in possession of a terrible sense of pitch.
