You're looking too broad,
Pitch. It's more of a little thing, but something that I noticed many people notice.
I don't think it's too obscure.
The answer is not a typical one for these riddles. I'll give more clues if needed.
Keep guessing!
Edit: I forgot to say that the "man" is a man from ME. "Man" is very literal and really the word has little impact on the riddle. There's quite a lot of "extra words" there, unlike Legate's riddles, where every word is a clue!
