We will consider the problem of the growth of small seed fluctuations of the magnetic field in the turbulent flow of a conducting fluid. We will demonstrate that the so-called sonic scale plays a crucial role and provide some theoretical results obtained in the frame of the Kraichnan model. The case where the seed fluctuations are concentrated at the smallest scales of turbulence (below the viscous scale) allows consideration that does not use any model and applies to the Navier-Stokes turbulence.
