Trying to move generated noise into a multitrack session

I am trying to move a Pink noise I generated into a multi-track session. However, after transferal, it normalizes the noise, and results in sounding different from how it sounds in waveform editor. Is there a way to retain the DC offset from the waveform editor into a multi-track session?

This is such strange behaviour to see. I could not find an elegant way of preventing this but one workaround would be to add the same noise at the same position on two tracks. Then pan Track 1 all the way left and pan Track 2 all the way right. When you do this a change in the DC offset doesn't occur and you retain the original sound you're looking to keep inside multitrack.

That's a brilliant solution! I tried it out and it worked perfectly, thank you!
