Abstract: We compute the two-cocycles (or multipliers) of the free nilpotent groups of class $2$ and rank $n$ and give conditions for simplicity of the corresponding twisted group $C^{*}$-algebras. These groups are representation groups for $mathbb{Z}^n$ and can be considered as a family of generalized Heisenberg groups with higher-dimensional center. Their group $C^{*}$-algebras are in a natural way isomorphic to continuous fields over $mathbb{T}^{frac12n(n-1)}$ with the noncommutative $n$-tori as fibers. In this way, the twisted group $C^{*}$-algebras associated with the free nilpotent groups of class $2$ and rank $n$ may be thought of as "second order" noncommutative $n$-tori.
