Hi all. The word 'no' in turkish is spelt Hayir right, but the prononciation sounds like hi-it. Is that how it should be pronounce? or have i heard it wrong.

Pronunciation of words depends on where you are,as with English accents. I have heard words ending in r have a subtle sh sound on the end,like bir(sh), hayir(sh),iyi gunler(sh)
I've also heard iki pronounced itchy, lutfen-lutfan,etc.etc.

I've never heard them that way
It's not possible that hayır is pronounced hi-it. maybe it just sounds to you like that.

Anything is possible in such a big country with such varied cultures.

It may be the way the person speaking says it then or my ears have gone haha.

Ive listened to it many times and it still sounds as tho theres a 'T' pronounced at the end. Is it meant to be said as it is read ??
