If you don't notice them, why look for them? Seriously, there's no need to look for a reason to be dissatisfied with your camera.
Okay, now that I got that off my chest, if you shoot longish exposures you may see them show up in dark areas of the frame. However, long exposure noise reduction will also mask them usually, and you can't turn that off.
