For beginners, I would recommend two things: ambient noise (with headphones/noise-cancelling works best for me), and a soft alarm for the timer. I used to DIY it, but I find the InsightTimer app is a free & customizable solution filling both these needs.

I use the Chimes tone on my iPhone at a low enough volume. Quite gentle to wake up to after a session of meditation.

I've used apps and various bell tones, but now I generally choose Moonlight Sonata: it's quiet and gentle and beautiful and very gradually drags you out of the place you were.

Oak app on iOS is pretty good for these requirements. It is very minimalistic and does not try to push paid features.
