This chapter views aviation's impact on climate through the lens of combustion‐generated pollutants of fossil fuels and noise. It addresses aviation‐related sources and the magnitude of these anthropogenic, i.e. caused by human activities and emissions at the local and the global scale. Aviation noise generated in takeoff, climb, flyover, approach, and landing is presented. Aviation noise related to supersonic flight, i.e. sonic boom, is also addressed. The impact of noise on human's physiological and psychological health is presented. The radiated sound from an aircraft engine is characterized both by its intensity as well as its directivity pattern. The chapter also presents the technologies that have successfully mitigated engine noise at its source. Finally, hopeful visions and strategies for sustainable aviation expressed by National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Federal Aviation Administration, Europe's vision, and International Civil Aviation Organization are presented.
