The feature described in the question is the manner of production, which refers to the way in which the sound is produced by the vocal organs. The manner of production includes whether the flow of air is completely interrupted (as in stop consonants like /p/, /t/, /k/) or restricted but still flowing (as in fricatives like /f/, /s/, /h/). Place of articulation refers to where the sound is produced in the vocal tract, voicing refers to whether the vocal cords are vibrating or not, and the term "speech locus" is not a commonly used linguistic term.
