I've seen neither 又没有什么麻烦 nor 又没什么麻烦 being used, only 又有什么麻烦, which would suggest one's a bit annoyed like "problems again?". Are you sure you've not made an error?

<p><strong>From what I know</strong> (correction would be appreciated), '又什么...' is often used in rhetorical questions, for example:</p>

<ul>
<li>又什么麻烦 : what's troublesome about... (it's not troublesome)</li>
<li>又什么不满意 : What's there to feel unsatisfied about (there's nothing to feel unsatisfied about)</li>
</ul>

<p>Then what about  '又没什么...'?</p>

<p>Does the '没' word make it have the opposite meaning?</p>

It's supposed to be 有什麽麻煩、有什麽不滿意. 有什麽麻煩 (literally *have what trouble?*) means *what's so troublesome about...*, same idea for the second phrase. 又沒什麽 is different (it uses 又, not 有); it means something like *there's nothing (to make a big deal out of) here*.

**From what I know** (correction would be appreciated), '又什么...' is often used in rhetorical questions, for example:

* 又什么麻烦 : what's troublesome about... (it's not troublesome)
* 又什么不满意 : What's there to feel unsatisfied about (there's nothing to feel unsatisfied about)

Then what about '又没什么...'?

Does the '没' word make it have the opposite meaning?

又什么麻烦/ is a wrong expression. The correct one is **有**什么麻烦, which could be either a rhetorical or a generic question. The normal expression is 又有什么... and in some cases 有 can be omitted, but you should be careful. In your example, 又有什么不满意 and 又有什么麻烦， 有 should not be omitted.

Well, in 又没(有)什么麻烦, 又 is more like the English word **anyway** in my opinion. So, 又没(有)什么麻烦 could be interpreted as *there isn't any trouble, anyways.*

Compare 又没有什么麻烦 and 又有什么麻烦. The latter is a rhetorical device as you said. The former is a normal negative sentence. Both denote the same underlying meaning, but with a bit different tones, which are the same as the correspondent English sentences.

An interesting phrase I also want to add here is *又什么事*，which is short for 又有什么事. In this context, 有 can be omitted. So, I suggest you add 有 all the time unless you know for sure it's right to drop it in your context.
