Imagine falling in love with someone in perfect silence, knowing them entirely through their actions, having only the feeling of their presence.

All primates have vocalizations of some kind. All apes have fairly complex vocalizations. Humans are an extreme case, but we're not entirely sui generis; it's pretty well guaranteed that any species recognizable as proto-human would not be courting in complete silence.
