You're thinking accessory belt. If your timing belt was making noise, your engine would be damaged and not running. Anyways, replacement is usually the key. As the belts age, they harden and become less rubbery and more like plastic. The lack of grip makes the belt slip, and then you get the nice squeeling on acceleration or cold mornings.... If you're destined to not spend money, you can try re-tensioning the belt. You'll need a few short metric wrenches. Don't over tighten, or else you'll wreck the bearings in your Powersteering pump, Alternator or A/C Compressor. All things you probably want working.
A Saturn 3.0 timing belt noise can indicate that the belt is becoming worn down. It can also indicate a bad gear.
no the car just stops
The Ford Taurus does not have a timing belt, it has a timing chain. The timing chain is designed to last the life of the engine, and does not need routine replacement.
no it has a timing chain,supposedly to cut down on valvetrain noise.
When a timing belt is going bad it can make a high-pitched screeching sound. It can sound like a high-pitch whirring noise. Not all timing belts make a noise when they are worn or going bad.
If your vehicle has a timing belt and not a chain, you need to replace it immediately. My distributor made the same ticking noise and it turned out to be the timing belt had a frayed piece on it and this piece was the source of the noise. Before I could figure it out, the belt broke and left me stranded on the roadside.
Check all belts and anything that was removed while changing the timing belt, to make sure that nothing was damaged. If everything is ok, then the timing belt may be loose.
There is no timing belt. It is a timing chain. I have 130,000 miles and have not had any trouble. It will start making noise when it is time. Unlike timing belts which will break, timing chains wear out slowly.
For longer life with less maintenance, the Sentra engine uses a timing chain instead of a cheaper, but quieter, timing belt. You don't notice the extra noise generated by the timing chain.

You didn't specify which engine you have. The 3.0L engine has a timing chain, not a belt. If it isn't making excessive noise, then leave it alone.
