You can create a textured image with only a few colours to achieve a grain effect. As a GIF or similar, it will only amount to a few hundred bytes if you do it right. That is, make a small image and tile it.

If you want to find out how a specific site achieved that effect, use a DOM inspector to check the code behind the element. Chrome has this functionality built-in if you right click and choose "Inspect Element". I bet you'll find there's a background image.
