This is not a tool per se, and it doesn’t specifically show pitch accent, so idk if it’s accurate in that regard, but jisho.org has audio.
I got all my pronunciation from my subconscious desire to imitate speech patterns and my autistic brain that literally latches on to random phrases then repeats them over and over, which is unhelpful to the average person, but maybe a small kernel of advice there is: listen a lot, and repeat what you hear? If you want direct pitch accent training, as some here do, I think Dogen has a video although I haven’t watched it.

That’s exactely how my brain works aswell
If you want to learn to pronounce and intonate entire sentences properly, try “Suziki-kun” from 東京大学.
You can download a recording as well as a pitch diagram. I have a big Anki deck and I’ve been adding audio to all of my word and sentence cards.
The only problem I’ve encountered is when there is more than one possible reading for a kanji or kanji compound. Suziki-kun just chooses one, not necessarily the one you want. For example, Suziki-kun likes あす instead of あした for 明日. But in those cases, you can actually change the reading by typing in hiragana.
