Is "NO" pronounced differently from "KNOW"?
I'm just curious if there is a difference in pronounciation between "know more" and "no more". Native Engish speakers are welcome to provide sound examples, but please, do not intentionally try to exagerate the difference. Thanks!

No. :)
You can check these samples - they sound exactly the same. We know the difference by context.

They are both pronounced the same, meaning they sound the same when spoken.

They are homophones: their pronunciation are alike but their spelling and meaning are different. Other examples include: hair/hare, see/sea, flower/flour, night/knight, etc.
