> 聞いたことない！

I'm still confused about the meaning of こと. But I think it means "this,"
"that," "about," and maybe "it."

So, this sentence could be translated as: "I've never heard of this/that/it!"

But I'm not very sure ...

What's the meaning of こと in this sentence?
The structure **Past verb + こと + ある/ない** means that you **Ever/Never**
Performed a given "action".

Examples:

> 日本に行ったこと **ない** 。Nihon ni itta koto nai. - I have **never** been to Japan.

Now a conversation about two people talking about Nattou (Japanese fermented
beans)

> Person1 - 納豆を食べたこと **ある** ？Nattou wo tabeta kot aru? - Have you ever eaten
> Nattou?
>
> Person 2 - はい、納豆を食べたこと **ある** よ！Hai, Nattou wo tabeta koto aru yo! - Yes, I
> have already eaten Nattou!

So, **聞いたことない** probably means "I have never heard about that."!

If you want to be a bit literal "The thing of having heard that does not
exist"
