I read Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky recently. Quite a lot of the book is told from the perspective of some highly intelligent spiders. The author makes a good attempt at articulating how they might perceive the world around them and how they would consequently struggle to communicate with us.

I don't know if it's accurate but he describes how they communicate primarily using their mandibles, legs and with vibrations through their silk, rather than through audible vibrations like us.
