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?

It’s literally whether you’re using your voice, or just pushing air out of your mouth.

Make a f sound.  Now hum, and do it again while humming.  Suddenly it’s now a v sound.  Your mouth didn’t change, you only started humming.
