Yes, it's annoying, but if you talk to them and see if you can go down and hear how loud it is in their apartment while you're walking around, if you go downstairs while you have your significant other upstairs walking around you can talk on the phone to make sure you know where they are that makes the most noise. If it sounds like normal walking, just reassure them that you've gotten thicker mats, let them see that you have as well, and that you take your shoes off by the door, and just leave it at that.

The running toilet could sound a lot louder in the basement as they probably have your pipes running through the wall, but the walking, unless you all are a bunch of really loud walkers (make sure your significant other doesn't tiptoe too much, just walks regularly when you're testing it) they are just being dramatic about normal noises. As bbrianmo1 says, living in a building with other people does mean you're going to hear them, so they will have to learn to accept it.

How Do I Deal with Neighbor's Excessive Noise Complaints? Good Questions

Years ago (before I was born actually) my aunt brought her new boyfriend home to meet the family for Christmas. Every year my mom and her three sisters get together with my grandma for Christmas dinner and holiday partying. Upon meeting my aunt's new boyfriend the family was overjoyed, there would be someone to leave behind to watch the food while they ran out to the store for a couple of last minute shopping excursions. Giving him instructions to put the turkey in the oven at 2pm, and preheat it a few minutes earlier.
Setting an alarm he preheated the oven on time and stuck the turkey in. When the rest of the family returned they noticed a strange smell, and quickly discovered the plastic cutting board the turkey had been on in the oven under the turkey. The oven rack kept the cutting board in one piece, but it ended up as strings of melted plastic and made the bottom half of the turkey inedible.
He is now one of the best cooks in the family, and he has that cutting board hanging in his wine cellar to remind him how well he did impressing the family regardless of the melted chaos.
