obtrusiveness
Quality of intruding
Obtrusiveness is the quality of being too noticeable or pushy—forcing attention rather than earning it.
An obtrusive person intrudes where they're not wanted; obtrusive advertising interrupts what you're trying to do.
The word carries a negative charge: The obtrusiveness of the pop-up ads ruined the experience.
Something obtrusive sticks out when it should blend in.
