There are many ways to break glass without touching it. Here are a few methods:

To do it with sound you need a sound that is a resonant frequencies of the glass you want to break. A sound that is the right frequency with enough volume will put energy into the glass and break it. Glass is one of the easiest materials to break using sound although any object can be broken using sound.

A high enough air presure difference on glass surface will cause it to break. This is why they say to open windows when there is a tornado.

Electricity at a high enough power can also break glass but it must overcome the non-conductive nature of glass before it will break. Even once you overcome the non-conductive nature of glass the heat generated by the electricity is what truly breaks it.

Rapid temperature change (hot or cold) is the most common ways that glass is broken without any object touching it.

A safe experiment using temperature to breaking an object:

Place an ice cube into a container of warm water (do NOT use hot water). As soon as the ice enters the water you will hear the ice pop and crack due to the rapid temperature change breaking the ice.

What would cause a glass table to break on its own?

Severe changes in temperatures can shatter glass which often happens in car windshields. If there is a chip or crack in the glass and water penetrates it and freezes it can shatter glass especially if it is tempered. Heating can expand the tables frame and crush the glass but other than an object falling or direct pressure...ghosts?

you have to have a very high voice to break a glass and this is what you have to do to break a glass you can break a glass because a glass is very resonant and frequency. and you also can break a glass by holding your high voice for two or three seconds and then the glass breaks. no its impossible for just your plain high voice you have to have a high microphone (with speakers) to break a light wine glass.
