Well, Tom probably did notice, but he seems to be unwilling to take action unless someone is in peril. He could have opened all the barrows and destroyed all the wraiths if he wished, but he only destroyed those attacking Frodo and Company. I think Tom only attacked or otherwise interfered with the affairs of ME if he felt someone was in danger. Remember the council of Elrond, where they say that Tom would not take the Ring, unless all the free people of the world begged him to. He seems to be rather unconcerned with anything that happens that doesn't directly interfere with him.
