How do you know when your timing belt is about to break or is there a specific noise to listen for?

There is no specific noise to listen for. They will just break. That is why auto manufactures give a recommended mileage level to have it replaced. This will be far less expensive than waiting for it to break while you are driving the car. There is a great risk and almost a guarantee that the top side of your engine will be damaged quite a bit. This repair will easily be 10x greater than the amount to just have the belt replaced when recommended. Good Luck
Yes, there is no warning, and if it does break there is a very high chance you will need either a new engine or a new cylinder head, pistons, valves etc., which can be more expensive than a whole engine. Basically, if it breaks you are looking at a massive repair bill. It is one of the most serious failures a car can have.
