Seismology based on oscillation mode amplitudes allows a different probing of turbulent convection zones than usual seismology based on frequencies as shown, for instance, by Belkacem et al. (2006) for the Sun. Going a step further, we now turn to investigations of stochastic excitation of solar-like oscillations in superficial convective layers as well as in convective cores of stars more massive than the Sun. Issues are the frequency domain where solar-like oscillations can be excited, the expected magnitude of these oscillation amplitudes, and whether these amplitudes are detectable with the CoRoT mission. This is an important task since the detection of solar-like oscillations will provide strong seismic constraints on the dynamical properties of the convective layers. The detection of solar-like oscillations in stars such as β Cephei or SPB stars will also help to determine their fundamental stellar parameters.
