Original Note:
This feature existed for over 10 years. It would try to remove the background music and retain the other sounds such as voice even back then. It's described in detail in 2013 German articles. It's likely much better now but it's not a new feature. https://www.googlewatchblog.de/2013/01/youtube-content-id-neuer/amp/ (German) https://www.heise.de/news/Radiergummi-fuer-Musik-in-YouTube-Videos-1795099.html (German) https://www.servaholics.de/2013/02/youtube-update-fuer-content-id-moeglichkeit-geschuetzte-musik-aus-video-zu-entfernen/ https://web.archive.org/web/20140512171311/https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/2902117?hl=en https://forum.audacityteam.org/t/youtubes-algorithm-for-background-music-removal/41676
