The closest was "Insight" which doesn't seem quite what I was after. Nor does "Spot" seem correct. What do people here use? An "Idea" roll?

If it is a physical perception (a noise, an image) I'd use listen or spot.
If it is looking for clue, I'd say search
If it is detecting lies, insight fits
If the atmosphere seems wrong or something in the background does not quite fit, maybe an idea roll with a stiff penalty
Hope this helps you
