It is weird that you'd write this. Just yesterday, as I was 
obsessing over this Canon D60 b/w file, thinking it looked too 
clean and clinical and something else I couldn't quite put my 
finger on, I added Noise (Monochromatic) to the image, and, 
WALLAH!, it immediately turned into an romantic image that had 
been shot with a 1955 Leica! 

So easily am I fooled. If it was only this easy to make me happy 
in other areas of my life.

So, play around with Noise, and compare it to Grain, and then 
compare it to Film Grain. Each approach gives a slightly different 
look.

Back to the Future....
