That really depends on the circumstances. A black hole doesn't emit any radiation directly (except for an insignificant amount of Hawking radiation); however, any time matter falls into the black hole, it tends to emit large amounts of x-rays. Also, the black hole can affect nearby objects by its gravitational attraction, just like the Sun affects the movement of the planets. So, even when you can't see it, you can still detect it, if there are nearby objects.
