Frameshift mutations occur when the number of nucleotides being inserted or deleted is not a multiple of three. That means it can happen in point mutations that are base-pair insertion or deletion. So, long story short, it really depends on what is being inserted, and where, to determine whether the mutation would be noticeable.
