I have to say, I borrowed the idea of different modes of Alien speech from Suzette Haden Elgin's Native Tongue Trilogy. Because it makes a whole lot of sense--especially if not all aliens are assumed to be humanoid, the idea of every alien species using recognizable phonetic/verbal speech doesn't hold up. :D
