I seem to recall reading about an experiment done in the wild.

A speaker playing the sound of running water was placed on dry ground where scientists knew beavers lived and left for a few weeks.

When they checked back on it, the beavers had built a dam structure on the speaker despite there being no water...

Yeah, they probably just hate the sound of rushing water and want it to stop no matter what
