It should be changed at about 95,000 km/ 60,000 miles
They usually start to dry rot after that.

As far as I know, changing the belt is not part of any service interval
It is considered a "wear" item that should be monitored and changed as needed.

change it when it starts to look beat up. it's not a mileage-specific date.

Change it when your installing the NST pulley kit

Not unusual to get 100k miles out of it, you if dont take 15 years.

then change it again when you replace your water pump in 10,000 miles

I haven't heard of anyone blowing a water pump just yet, i've had no problems with it

Could this be the noise I hear in my car, now I hear it while driving, and right before I come to a stop(I guess when the rpm drops to the lowest). Sqeaking noise to be exact. Im at 53k miles.

If you search there have a been a few, even multiple times, after doing this mod. For like 2hp(probably a SLIGHT under-estimation, this is not a worthwhile mod)
