When should it be changed it?

The thing is i been hearing rattling noise near the the left side of the engine by the coolant area it could be Camshaft or the Serpentine belt. Not really sure. Since the noise is in that area.

Note: I looked at the Serpentine belt it looks fine to be but it dose feel little loose.

PS: The car was handed down to me. Since my older sister never took good care of it and she never told me what has been done to it so for the past 9 months I been fixing it up as issues occur.

It sounds like you need to get a more accurate diagnosis of what is causing your noise. We can't tell you that from here. It could be any number of things causing the noise.
