What are the characteristics used to classify consonant sounds, vowel sounds? Give examples

I have two answers: "Linguists classify vowels according to four pieces of information: tongue height, tongue backness, lip rounding, and tenseness," found on {I can't say the engine but you know what I mean]. My second for vowels is making sounds from the back of your mouth, and lips or tongue don't touch anything.

For consonant sounds (found on "bing"):

the voicing: is it voiced or voiceless,

the place of articulation: where is the vocal tract obstructed, and.

the manner of articulation: how is the vocal tract obstructed.
