A tell-tale sign for whether you're vehicle is making a noise is to listen out when first starting the car and the engine is cold. If it is making a squealing sound then your belt could be loose which would indicate the need for a replacement. If your vehicle does have a cambelt issue then the vehicle may not even start at all. Hissing and grinding are also common noises to listen out for. If you want to have a look at the belt yourself then look out for a worn belt which would be noticeable by a glossy or glazed look.
