I use a several thousand dollar measurement/software suite that probably wouldn't be practical for most people.
The simplest would be to purchase the Rives Audio Test CD 2 and a Radio Shack SPL meter (if you don't have one):

If you would like an inexpensive PC-based spectrum analyzer, here's one at a very reasonable price (which I have not used, but have heard good things about from others who have):

If you would like a stand-alone portable spectrum analyzer, here's one:

And don't forget the pink noise generator:

Kinda makes the $21 for the Rives disc look pretty reasonable, doesn't it?

ps - once again the links all look the same but they seem to work properly.
