In real life - yes, but not in DnD.

In 5th edition you are not supposed to know; this is what the Passive Perception score is for. If you're not specifically looking for anything, the DM is supposed to use your Passive Perception instead of rolling a check that would alert you to the existence of something hidden; if you are specifically looking, you roll Perception whether or not there is anything to find.

Yes, but who actually plays like that?

That's how my DM runs our campaign

Really? Thanks, guess I got it wrong!

For a PC game, it makes sense, too, for replay value
