I have clean speech samples and environmental noise samples. I need to add noise to clean speech at different SNR levels. How can I change SNR value of noise samples?

Multiply the noise samples by a constant before adding to the signal.
Thank you for formally accepting my answer

I want SNR value of noise sample as -10,-5,0,5,10. What should I do?

Since you said "I need to add noise" you would do this:
yNoisy = y + noiseSignal;

Can anyone please tell me how to change SNR value of QUT-Noise samples?

Greg did. Did you overlook his answer? He said to multiply your noise signal by some amplification factor before adding:
yNoisy = yNoise + amplitude * noiseSignal;
By the way, a signal will have an SNR - a "QUT-Noise" signal will not. Noise alone has no SNR, or it's basically zero, since there is all noise (only noise by definition) and no signal. So you should not use terminology like "SNR of the noise".
