A small annoyance. If something is niggling you it is annoying you slightly.

Besides an annoyance, 'niggling' can refer to someone or something that is petty, fussy, paying a lot of attention to unimportant details. That's mostly how you see it used in the U.S.
"I'm spending too much time on these niggling details."
"They spent hours arguing over niggling differences in interpretation."
