Serpentine belt tensioners

Considering a 2001 9-5 2.3t w/107k miles that had the belt replaced in April. Owner said that the tensioners weren't replaced at that time. Yeah I know, saved a few bucks but...
I want to think that you'd be able to hear the tensioners as they were getting ready to fail. Granted, that's dependent upon listening, but has anybody had a tensioner fail where they might have been trying to keep an ear peeled, yet never heard impending doom? Or not heard anything suspicious, but when they replaced the tensioner it was obviously on its last legs?
thanks
