You need to be more specific about your requirements.  But Radio Shaft (Shack) used
to have a cheap (~$40.00) handheld sound level meter.  I have an ancient version of
this that I used to use for setting up room acoustics.  It is relatively flat in the
midrange, but gets pretty bad at the audio extremes.  I used a mechanical piston
frequency generator to calibrate the unit for reasonable results.

Good Luck.
