They're both "The noise was deafening" uncountable "I heard the noises of a few different animals" countable Also your first examples should be "there are" as the nouns are plural :)

Unfortunately head-on collision just means they were both facing each other when they collided, and out of context usually only works with vehicles (or if we know the two people are walking towards each other etc). I don't think there is a term in English that describes this exact thing. For both examples, the best I can think of is to say "Their heads accidentally collided" and "She remembered when their heads had collided earlier" The second example isn't 'wrong' (and actually is much more interesting than my rephrase) but right now it could just mean that they walked into each other face first. It depends how much detail you want to go into :)

"have a go" is very British slang meaning to moan at or tell someone off. It does need the verb 'have' in there though! It's usually used in past continuous tense (having a go) and less regularly as in the examples. Examples: "She was always having a go at me for leaving the toilet seat up" past continuous present : "Oh, now you want to have a go at me too?" Telling off or moaning at could be used instead. Starting a fight/argument can also be used. Scolding is similar but it's a bit too formal for this phrase, I think.

"genetically wired to" means it is a part of our nature. We are predisposed/predetermined to be like that. It's innate. Wires are part of the internal structure of a machine, if you swap them around or take some out, the machine might behave differently. It is the same theme here, our genes and DNA are the 'wires' that determine what we will be like. E.g. "People aren't wired to learn a language just by reading grammar books" / "He didn't believe them, as usual - he was wired to be suspicious" Another similar 'machine' metaphor might be the word "programmed."

It doesn't make sense by itself. Is this the entire sentence or just a portion of it?

I can't think of any other idioms that mean the same thing but if you wanted to rephrase it you could say "I'm among the first to see the innovations..." "I get to witness the cutting edge innovations" perhaps? (get to : i'm able to / i'm lucky to) If you can stick with front-row seat, it's a great phrase already!

In this context it means becoming/dying. The person is saying that they came into the world as a person without much power or money but they will become and leave the world (die) as a queen. There aren't many, or any other contexts where you would use that structure "going out _____", it's very specific to this example

The simplest way would be to say "in the next few days" if you really want it back within that time period. If it's not too urgent, you can say "I do hope you'll pay me back soon"
