I mean, if someone moved away from you at 600 mph, you'd notice that they'd done so. Of special annoyance is when the Flash does something like make coffees for everyone in line at the coffee shop, and they just suddenly look down and are shocked that they have coffees in their hands. That's not speedsterism... that's stopping the time continuum, moving within it, then restarting time.... that being said... he does do time continuum stuff, so maybe that's actually what is happening.
I know this show is heavy comic and requires a willing suspension of disbelief, but I do like my super powers to be somewhat logically consistent.

They also pick and choose. Sometimes when he moves off there's a big WHOOSH and a vacuum and things moving (realistic). Other times he just... goes (unrealistic). Pretty sure if a 150-ish pound object suddenly sped away at hundreds of miles per hour you would feel and hear it and the effect it would have.
