Solution 1

Open vlc media player. Then file - convert/save and select the video file you need. Then add the destination (should be example.mp3 file). Choose the profile: audio - mp3 so you save only the sound of the video. Good luck.

Solution 2

You can do that with Audacity.

Audacity is a multi-track audio editor for Linux/Unix, MacOS and Windows. It is designed for easy recording, playing and editing of digital audio. Audacity features digital effects and spectrum analysis tools. Editing is very fast and provides unlimited undo/redo.

Supported file formats include Ogg Vorbis, MP2, MP3, WAV, AIFF, and AU.¹

To whoever has voted to reopen this: Can you explain why this should not be considered a duplicate of that question? (It seems to me that this should be merged, rather than reopened.)
