I suppose I need a hammer drill to outline the hole then knock it out
with a hammer and chisel?
This is for an upstairs laundry room I've created. No other way to
vent the dryer.

That will work. Or you could rent a big diamond or carbide grit hole
saw. You'll need a big drill motor to drive it too.

Congratulations on picking the ideal location for both laundry and
vent. Been there, done that and it's worth all the work for the
convenience. Assuming you are going through a brick veneer, an outlet
screen or louvers will be used to direct flow, keep out varmints,
whatever. Since it will be nominally square, the necessary bricks can
be removed with an angle grinder and diamond blade like the $2 Harbor
Freight 41743 and also their 32400 diamond hole saw, $6 IIRC. Ought to
be less destructive than a hammer drill, likely slower, but neater.

Depends on the brick. I cuts some Mexican-made bricks (colored sand and
potato paste) with the HF multifunction tool. They were not much harder than
the grout (mortar) used to hold the bricks in place.
Anway, you can also use the HF masonry blades in an angle grinder.

Almost anythting you can do to cut thru the bricks rather than hammer
and chisel is preferable. You can't always control where things break
when you hammer and chisel, with cutting you at least have better than
a 50-50 proposition.
