Narrative:
We were assigned direct to kilbe at 3000 feet into lyh for the ILS 4. As we were nearing several miles from the localizer; we got the 'terrain; terrain' aural three times; then followed by the 'pull up' aural. We began a climb above 4000 ft and leveled once the warning had silenced. We told ATC about the event then he vectored us around for another approach to runway 4; this time from the east side of the localizer. During this process; we did receive one more 'terrain; terrain' aural; but no 'pull up.' we continued on the ILS approach for runway 4 and landed uneventfully. I can't say for certain; but I believe the terrain; pull up aural may have been erroneous due to the erratic RA indications. Perhaps ATC needs to leave us higher in that area. ATC had us at 3300 feet initially before giving us 3000 as we were coming to kilbe.
