Best ways to limit or avoid my roommate hearing me have sex in our two-bedroom apartment?

NSFW

We just moved into a new place and it's nicer than the previous one, but our bedrooms are across from each other with the kitchen in-between; it's all hard floors, too. Thankfully, my roommate is also my bestie, and we've talked about this (because we're both probably gonna be pretty active in the near future); we have great communication and some boundaries in place.

While part of me (the very horny one) doesn't care how loud things get (loud usually means good?), I'm still a very considerate person and want to be mindful. I figured asking here would be best. I know rugs/mats are helpful, but are there more specific things I can buy or do to mitigate the noise? Regardless of who I'd be sleeping with, I'm not exactly quiet when I feel good. XD And if I could simply do it elsewhere, I probably would, but I imagine it'd be easier to do it here (I'm disabled).

Anyway, yeah, it's pretty self-explanatory. Just a silly lesbian who's looking for advice. Thanks!
