Are all of the files the same length?

Not exactly, the difference might be in ms which can be neglected.

The difference is in miliseconds, so we can say that the file lengths are the same.

In that case you just need the "Import2:" command to import the noise, followed by one of the Export commands (such as "ExportWav:").

Import2 has parameters Filename=" ". I want to add the noise in 50 audio files, do I need to manually add these names?

No, you only need to use Import2 with the "noise" file. You will then apply the macro to batch process the 50 audio files.
