The second coming of Christ will happen in a sudden way, but it will not go unnoticed because it will be something that everyone will see and hear.

The second coming of Christ will be...sudden, we must be prepared.
God Father is the only one who knows the hour exact in which will happen the second coming of Christ. According as came the flood in a sudden way in the times of Noah, so will be the return of Jesus: sudden. For this, we must be prepared spiritually, living according to the will of God and longing for His return.
36 “But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son,but only the Father. 37 As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 38 For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; 39 and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.
