At least 2 ways with which I'm familiar.  If memory serves, Audacity has both an HPF and EQ function.

The HPF function allows you to specify the frequency at which you'd like to start reducing the bass, but has a fixed rolloff slope below the specified frequency.

The EQ function allows you to define the starting frequency as well as customize the slope / curve.
