Also, Humans and Chimpanzees are very similar, and yet we can't use the universal language of mathematics to communicate with them. Dolphins and Octopus are akin to us in intelligence; no spikka math. Alien lifeforms are likely to be order of magnitude radically different from us protein self-assembling macromachines, with a different body plan, and different perception mechanisms, to the point where we might not even recognize them as lifeforms. It does not stand to reason that they would be able to make anything of our chirps and whistles.
