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
