Yes, the difference between them is the same as the difference between "V" and "F", "D" and "T", "Z" and "S", "G" and "K" etc

One is voiced and the other is unvoiced

The "m" in symphony is not the same sound as "n", "m", or "ng", but is a unique nasal sound

"r" and "l" sounds can act as vowels and cosonants (see "bird" and "coddled")
