Unnoted

Generally, 'unnoted' signifies something that has escaped observation, attention, or record. It describes a state of being unnoticed, either because it is insignificant, deliberately concealed, or simply overlooked amidst a multitude of other things. It implies a lack of recognition, importance, or acknowledgment. It can refer to both tangible objects and abstract concepts. An unnoted event may pass without consequence, while an unnoted talent could remain undiscovered. It can be used in several different contexts, each highlighting a slightly different shade of the underlying meaning, which is a lack of attention being paid or a situation is forgotten or neglected.
