"No, did you hear that?!"
I don't think "No" can be used as an interjection here. I get what you're trying to convey but it doesn't work in English. How about "Did you just hear that?!"

Just the smallest taste of the translation issues which would occur with actual separately-evolved brains and language.

I actually kind of liked the original phrasing. Really conveyed the sudden outburst, like "this is the exact moment where my reserve of silence runs dry". Also, removing it left the start of the sentence uncapitalized.

TRIVIA
Insectoids in a lot of ways are the weird ones among the Alliance members. Besides having a completely unpronounceable name of the species, they have dextero amino acid biochemistry, which makes their food and biosphere to be inedible by the rest of the Alliance, and vice versa.
