「んー」は "fmm..." や "well..." のように少し考えこむときに言う言葉です。すぐには答えられないときや、どちらかというと賛成ではない時に使うことが
多いと思います。
  Comments:
Discussed this with a native speaker who disagreed んん could mean "hm", only "huh?" (though this usage is in nikk and there's 
examples of it on twitter too.) They didn't like んん for "no" either (also in nikk, also on twitter) but んー was definitely out of 
the picture.

Don't know where I got on-mim from.
