The Fluke 8050 does. I think the 8060 (handheld model) does also. I bought one 
about 20 years ago for around $400. Bought another about a year ago for around 
$25 (ebay).

Freq response good up to somewhere around 100k, I think.

Also, it has a "relative" switch. Set it and all measurements are now 
referenced to whatever level was present at the time it was activated (which is 
now shown as zero db).
