All your examples are grammatical. Any and no can be followed by either a singular or a plural noun. There are of course cases in which a singular or a plural may be preferred or more common.

Thanks for your reply!

Can you give me some examples in which a singular or a plural is preferred or more common after "any" or "no".

Best regards

I can't think of any right now. Try using a search engine with examples such as "any friend", "any friends" etc.
