They don't even notice. I shut the engine off with a kill switch on the shift lever, so no movements that trigger somebody's attention. Bump starts are smooth enough that they don't notice. Occasionally somebody notices the clunk when the power door locks relock the already locked doors.

On the highway, I normally use DWL. That puts the passengers to sleep. Every time. Then nobody notices anything.
