Change it by all means. May not even need changing yet? Open up the cambelt cover and check the belt for any signs of fraying or other signs of wear and tear. But dont mess with changing the cambelt yourself!

Worthwhile having it done though, reassurance!

yeah its just i know the engine isnt going to sound like a dodge charger or anything like that but it does sound really whirry on tickover sounds good if u stand behind it though lol
