    From what i remember, it has to do with the noise of flowing water. Bevers find the sound annoying and will cover it until it stops.

    I remember a study where they played river noises from a speaker and the bevers covered the speakers with sticks – even in the absence of any water.

      I’m not sure if this means that they are annoyed or if they use it as an indicator that there is something to do.

        Super fair point, I’m projecting human emotions onto the beavers & don’t actually know how they feel about the sound of running water lol
