Lulu er sur på Julie, og Julie vil gerne blive veninder igen. Så kommer hun Lulu imod og siger: ”Ka vi ik lige tale sammen?”, og Lulu svarer (sur): ”Ka du høre noget svar, hva?”.

Det er alt. Er "at høre noget svar" et faste udtryk?

Do you hear me saying anything?

The situation as described reveals that this response is sarcastic in nature and should be written as it would be spoken; in a sarcastic even spiteful tone. This translation is more true to a direct translation of the response.

"I'm not talking to you"

This is not a standard expression I have heard, but "I'm not talking to you" is a fair translation I think.
