Starting vim as

$ vim -u NONE

puts it into compatible mode and makes it behave as much as it can
like vi. Vi did not have a :noremap command. Try starting vim in
nocompatible mode like this instead:

$ vim -N -u NONE

See

:help -u
:help -N
:help 'compatible'

It could be that your configuration has vim in 'compatible' mode.
To find out, execute

:verbose set compatible?

It could also be that your vim doesn't support the :noremap command
for some other reason, such as being the tiny version that doesn't
have many features included. What version are you running and with
what features included? You can find out with

:version
