If you're truly "working" a scene or event or a particular subject.
The subject knows you're there doing exactly that; with or without the flash.
They'll eventually forget about you, your camera and the flash;
assuming that you can let go of the notion that it's drawing attention;
and simply use it as another tool.

YMMV
