I've speculated that if we ever do meet ET, they will look, sound, and act very much like us.

Imo seems like the bare minimal to be considered life is they replicate on their own and continue on to survive. I don't see us too far off from making machines capable of doing that. I suppose like all animals on earth, we have to follow some basic rules / laws of interaction to all live.
So our behavior, even with if they were machines, has to be somewhat similar. I don't see any reason they have to look or sound the same though. I mean sound itself is a frequency range, they can operate in one we don't hear.
