Using c.length as input to a function which defines c won't work. Also you're just reassigning items in the array with noop when you should be adding methods to window.console.

(function(w){
  var c = 'assert,clear,count,debug,dir,dirxml,error,exception,group,groupCollapsed,groupEnd,info,log,markTimeline,profile,profileEnd,table,time,timeEnd,timeStamp,trace,warn'.split(','),
  noop = function () {};

  w.console = w.console || (function (len) {
    var ret = {};
    while (len--) { ret[c[len]] = noop; }
    return ret;
  }(c.length));
})(window);
