is it true that beavers hate the sound of running water?

i was thinking of training a set of beavers to live in the crawlspace over the winter to alert me if the pipes break what do you think?
 
Beavers identify structural damages in their dams by the sound of running water. To them, a perfect dam doesn’t let any water through, so it is quite. The more water is getting through the dam, the louder the water. It’s just like how a slightly leaky faucet slowly dripping away is way quieter than if you leave every faucet, shower-head, and bathtub running full blast. When a beaver hears water running too fast near the dam, it is compelled to fix wherever the leak is and will judge his success based on how much quieter the water gets.
