Question

Is it permitted to interrupt between the blessing and the eating with a single sound (such as “nu”)?
And if I did interrupt, do I need to recite the blessing again?

Answer

Shalom u’vracha. 

Ideally, one should not interrupt between the blessing and the eating, even with a pause of time without speaking. 

Regarding your question: if it is not a word but only a syllable, this is not considered an interruption, and you may eat without reciting the blessing again.
