I do this quite a lot just for printing purpose and only for coulor scans. Usually, it adds a clean but plastic look to it.
You may play with the chart, but I found the best way to do is the way you did for each photo. Even using the same noise pattern for the same roll is not efficient. I failed using decent sharpening with this tool.
With B&W I found it very bad (meaning I really accept (noise/grain)) for those negs.
For color shots, it may be usefull for large prints (let say 20*30cm) but I use it with moderation (until color noise is acceptable for my point of view)

Yep. Amazing the results you can get with Neat Image (my favorite) or Noise Ninja. The control is pretty astounding too.
As the previous poster said, over use of these noise reduction programs sometimes results in a plastic look, but that is up to the user.
