taking notice
Becoming suddenly aware
Taking notice means paying attention to something, becoming aware of it in a way that registers as significant.
When someone or something makes people take notice, they command attention that might otherwise have been withheld.
The phrase often implies a shift—from indifference to interest, from overlooking to acknowledging: Her performance made the critics take notice.
