The short answer
Select the video and use Trim audio to choose the range, then select an audio output and extract it. Check the first and last words so the saved clip begins and ends where you intended.
Select the video and the correct soundtrack
Add your local video to Audio Extractor For Free. Use Select audio tracks when it contains several language or commentary streams. Check the right source before trimming: identical time ranges from different streams can contain different content.
Set the range with Trim audio
Select the video in the queue and choose Trim audio. Set the start and end of the section you need and review the range. Use a small margin around speech so the first syllable or final word is not cut off.
The expected clip duration is the end time minus the start time. Recheck the range if you get a much longer file or the whole soundtrack.
Choose the output and check the clip
Select MP3 for a compatible listening workflow or a supported WAV/FLAC output for your next editing step. Review Audio settings, choose a separate Save to folder and start the extraction.
Listen to the saved clip from beginning to end. Trimming and codec conversion can require re-encoding; do not assume a short exported MP3 is a byte-for-byte copy of the original audio.
