Grain

The Grain effect overlays film noise onto your image. Film noise is the effect that real-world cameras produce when small particles in the camera’s film give the image a coarse, unprocessed effect. Unity’s Grain effect is based on a coherent gradient noise. This gives your game a gritty effect that simulates the imperfections of film.

The Grain effect available in Unity is based on a coherent gradient noise.
