That has actually been answered.

Beavers react to the sound of running water.

Researchers put a speaker playing the sound of running water in an area with beavers and came back to find the speaker buried in a beaver dam structure.

I think there is more of a compulsion that that. I've seen videos from a woman who has a pet beaver she raised from a baby, and it demonstrates damming behavior without water. He will grab anything he can get his mouth on, and drageit to the opening of a hallway, and start piling random stuff across the doorway - stuffed animals, blankets, pillows, even a small decorative artificial tree.

I don't know what prompts the little guy to do it, but there is no actual water involved. I don't think she was playing water sounds, either. It seems to be spontaneous.

I seem to remember a similar story of a zoo where the beavers built a damm in a dry concrete room. They later found out the area was above a waterpipe and the beavers were just way more sensitive to the sound/vibrations.

Couldn't find it with 1min of DDG so might be wrong

DDGs results have been garbage since MS jacked up the price of Bing API calls. I hate that I usually have to use Google to get the results I want.

One day I'll get around to setting up a searxng server.

That would be Stashapp or Whisparr. Or both since Whisparr can update Stash when it downloads scenes.
