How to Get Facebook Video URL
Before you can extract audio using one of the online tools shared in this guide, you will need to copy the Facebook video’s URL. To do so, visit the video page and right-click on the video to select show Video URL option.

Wait a minute. You said audio, not video. Well, Facebook doesn’t make it easy so sometimes, you need a workaround.

Just upload the downloaded Facebook video, select your audio format and quality, and extract it within seconds.
Why take the trouble? That way, you can also trim the video and only extract the audio part that you want instead of converting the whole video, at the cost of just a few more clicks. The site is ad-supported which means no ad blockers but otherwise completely free.
