Some nouns difficulty to distinguish the meanings when they are used as a countable noun or an uncontable noun.
"Change, Impact, Change etc"
Theses words above can be either countable or uncountable. some examples are blew.
We should have a choice/some choice in the matter.
I haven't notice any changes/any change in the situation.
The story failed to make an impact/made little impact on public opinion.
Every time I encounter such nouns, or need to write something with them, I get into chaos, being unable to decide which form I should select in a situation I am trying to describe.
I would like to know if there are a little or little difference in them.
If there is some difference, what's the difference? which form should I choose?
Can I take either of them unconditionally?
I am waiting for your help. thanks.

There is no difference in intent here. Either form will work. If you have the option, consider the image that you hold or that you wish to present to the reader-- for instance, of one of a number of hypothetical choices vs of the faculty of choice.
