noticeable

This term describes a quality of being perceptible, often implying that something has shifted from a state of invisibility or insignificance to one that demands attention. It carries a neutral to positive connotation, typically used to describe sensory observations or statistical trends. When used to describe a change or difference, it suggests a threshold of significance has been crossed. It is less intense than "obvious" or "striking," suggesting that while the quality is clear, it may require a moment of observation rather than being immediately overwhelming.
