It doesn't make any difference what it sounds like - you'll know immediately if it does, as your engine will immediately stop. It might give a few death throes on the way out, but it will stop.

How often do you change timing belt?

The timing belt should be changed every 60,000 miles. Most belts will still look like new at 60,000 miles. They seem to want to break at 100,000 miles. Nothing bad will happen if it breaks other than a tow to a mechanic. This is true if you have a non-interference engine BUT if you have an interference engine and the timing belt breaks the engine can destroy itself in a moment.
