What is the difference between “voiced” and “voiceless” consonants

Whenever I try to search this up, I get explanations like “your throat vibrates” but that’s super abstract and hard to visualize. Is there an easier way someone can explain this to me?

Think of a kazoo and how the paper vibrates against its housing when you blow through it and it makes that buzzy sound. You get a buzzy sound from your vocal folds when you bring them close enough together and blow through them.
