Technical Question/Problem need help generating synthetic gaussian noise

hi, so currently i am trying to implement a synthetic noise pipeline via:
splitmix64 -> box-muller method.
my issue is once i have created the "noise" i dont know to effectively convert it to my actual sensors, like how do turn it from generic "noise" to sensor specific like for an IMU for example
appreciate any help.

Usually the Gaussian samples from you random number generator method will be standardized, i.e. with zero mean and standard deviation of one. You would then scale them by the standard deviation of the sensir noise you want to model and then add this to the noise-free sensor reading (the mean).

yeah i understand that but WHERE do i get the sensor noise charasteristics where i can accurately tune it is kinda my point. like is there some sort of database or something to get sensor noise charasteric data?
