"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
There's no way to communicate faster than light.
If you want to send your message to another solar system, your best bet is to use a courier spaceship. It can take even a month for it to finally reach the destination, but it still beats sending it as a transmission and expecting it to arrive decades or thousands of years later.
